Perhaps it would be beneficial to put the Apache license
verbage (that stuff that appears in the code) out on the
Web Site along with a more detailed "statement of purpose"
in which to frame this verbage.
As I am a newbie, here's a question: Why did this group
not simply adopt the Free Software Foundation's "copyleft"
verbage, as opposed to the current? My understanding of
that "license" is that it would have the effect you
intend (I THINK you intend): that "this product is built
with Apache. You can use it, modify it, and even sell
support and service for it, but you have to give away the
source."
(I am interested in the group's response as my company is
interested in moving our work from a "formerly public domain
server" to Apache. We want there to continue to be a
well-supported "free server" that supports our mods.)
