I recently received the following from a developer who wishes to remain anonymous.
<whistle-blowing> Hi Ceki,
In one of my current projects I have come across some 3rd-party commercial product, which includes as part of their software-product Log4J. Nothing against it, however I found, that they have renamed the package-structure (from org.apache.log4j to com.COMPANY.org.apache.log4j) - just wanted to know if this does not violate the Apache Software license?
I find it quite an unethnical practice to hide acknowledgement where it is really due and wanted to know, if this is something the ASF would be concerned about.
Let me know your thoughts.
Kind regards, </whistle-blowing>
It appears that the product in question includes a copy of the Apache license in their documentation. Does this give them the right to rename packages an appropriate the software?
My understanding is that the Apache license allows this.
Your comments would be appreciated.
