Luc, Yes, that should work for my company's needs. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I will plan to submit in the next few weeks.
This should be my last legal question for awhile, but I also wanted to ask about submitting a note to a statistical journal. The method I have implemented is not new, of course, but it might be worth drawing some attention to it, which would also draw attention to Apache Commons Math. Is there any restriction against doing so? I need to house the software for download somewhere if I mention it in a journal paper or note, so it might as well be where I plan to submit it anyway.

Yes, there are no copyright transfer, the Apache Foundation only get a licence from you. Also note that for existing code, we rather need a Software Grant, not an ICLA. An ICLA is needed tp cover work to be done later on by one regular contributor. A software grant is for existing work already done outside from Apache and imported. > My company is also generally > requires that I place our name somewhere near the top of the > comments. Does this work for you? The top header must be the Apache header, and we forbid use of the @author statement (authors change as the file is modified through bug fixes). Authors are acknowledged in the NOTICE file that is distributed with both source and binary versions, and which must also be reproduced by anyone who redistribute our code. In fact, your company will get better visibility through this file than through comments on the source files.
