Resume Plugin - license question

[Ross Gardler <rg...@apache.org>]

Ferdinand and I started a Resume plugin for the ApacheCon presentation. 
I would like to commit this to our whiteboard but want to verify the 
license position. It seems just fine to me but would like oversight from 
the PMC.

The text of the license is minimal and is copied in full below. It seems 
to me that as long as I add the license to the schemas directory of the 
plugin we'll be OK. Can someone please confirm/deny this.

Text of license follows (see 
http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net/license/index.html ):

Well i hope that this does not sound like an authoritative
statement on this topic, because i am not.

It seems like a standard disclaimer and the license
does not impose restrictions that go beyond the
Apache License 2, so yes fine to include it as you say.

They don't ask for attribution, so no need to add to
our top-level NOTICE file.
