  1. "For distribution to the public at no charge" is straight from the ASF Bylaws at http://apache.org/foundation/bylaws.html. (1)
  2. See also LC40. (2)
  3. It's ok for platforms (like a runtime used to execute our code) to have different licenses as long as they don't impose reciprocal licensing on what we are distributing. (3)
  4. http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html has information about acceptable licenses for third-party dependencies (4)
  5. In Apache projects, the ASF owns the copyright for the collective work, i.e. the project's releases. Contributors retain copyright on their contributions but grant the ASF a perpetual copyright license for them. (5)
  6. See http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html for more info on Apache releases (6)
  7. The required level of security depends on the software's intended uses, of course. Expectations should be clearly documented. (7)
  8. Apache projects can just point to http://www.apache.org/security/ or use their own security contacts page, which should also point to that. (8)
  9. In Apache projects, "consensus" means widespread agreement among people who have decision power. It does not necessarily mean "unanimity". (9)
  10. For Apache projects, http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html defines the voting rules. (10)
  11. Apache projects have a private mailing list that their PMC is expected to use only when really needed. The private list is typically used for discussions about people, for example, to discuss and to vote on PMC candidates privately. (11)
  12. Independence can be understood as basing the project's decisions on the open discussions that happen on the project's main communications channel, with no hidden agendas. (12)
