Non Apache software licensed under ASL

[Pid <pi...@pidster.com>]

Hi,

If software is developed and licensed under version 2.0 of the Apache
License, is there a requirement to provide the NOTICE file?

Presumably works not developed at the ASF, can't claim:

 Apache [PRODUCT_NAME]
 Copyright [yyyy] The Apache Software Foundation

 This product includes software developed at
 The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).

(from http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice)


If the NOTICE file should still be present, what should it contain?


Thanks,


p

First of all, re subject, It's "ALv2", not "ASL".  I assume you've
already read the license (paragraph 4(d)).  More below.

If you you create a software outside of ASF and license it under ALv2,
you are not obligated to create a NOTICE file.  (Doing so might be good
software engineering, since the license special-cases the "NOTICE" file;
but that's a separate issue.)

Correct.
