> At http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Licenses , the listed name for The Apache Software License, Version 2.0 is "Apache 2".
> Since people (like me) will copy&paste that snippet into their project, it makes sense to use a more appropriate version that matches major projects seen in the wild.
> The proposed text is:
>         <license>
>             <name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name>
>             <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url>
>             <distribution>repo</distribution>
>             <comments>A business-friendly OSS license</comments>
>         </license>
