I was trying to track down the license of the Apache 2.0 license (the legal
text). The best I could find was this
https://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#mod-license
...
FWIW, the apache.org website footer says "Copyright © 2021 The Apache
Software Foundation, Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0."
I recall one longtime Apache Software Foundation figure saying that
content on the website was by default licensed under the Apache
License 2.0.
Thanks! Makes sense, though my engineering sensibilities assumed generic
footers refer to the frame only and that there is a separate content license.
For me, Apache was an example. How about MIT? I just looked at the GPLv2 and
it is confused. The footer says no change, the FAQ says limited change.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ModifyGPL
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
Thanks anyway, probably this is more an academic interest of mine.
It does relate to how to identify license texts in license clearance
activities, though. So, Apache-2.0 can be identified as Apache-2.0 but
GPL-2.0-or-later has a proprietary license.
Cheers, Dirk
