Paul, do not confuse *license* with *copyright* It is true that Spring gives everything under ASL, and it is true that they still own their code. You *can* grab their code to change it and add it to your codebase, but it still derives from *their* code. So there are two options: * convince Spring to donate their code to Apache, so there are no copyright issues, using the IP clerance procedure; * take Spring code, modify it, but add a line in the NOTICE file and add the whole license header on the top of every file that you grab and/or modify.
