If all licenses must be updated by March 1st 2004, you'd better get us some "using" instructions really quickly, e.g.
what goes in
Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]
for all our existing code? Will someone need to look up the original author and all updaters in CVS?
Why? The Apache Software Foundation is the copyright owner for any and all code in ASF CVSs and projects.

Hello, Jakarta-Folks,
Just a note (but very important)
++ brief summary ++
The Board has approved the new Apache License 2.0. For a copy of that license, please see http://www.apache.org/licenses/.
The Board has also mandated that all ASF software must be switched to the new license by March 1st, 2004. Please watch this space for further instructions on how to "use" the new license.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
++ description ++
The 2.0 version of the Apache License was approved by the ASF (The Board has approved the new Apache License 2.0) in 2004. The goals of this license revision have been to reduce the number of frequently asked questions, to allow the license to be reusable without modification by any project (including non-ASF projects), to allow the license to be included by reference instead of listed in every file, to clarify the license on submission of contributions, to require a patent license on contributions that necessarily infringe the contributor's own patents, and to move comments regarding Apache and other inherited attribution notices to a location outside the license terms (the NOTICE file [1]).
The result is a license that is compatible with other open source licenses, such as the GPL, and yet still remains true to the original goals of the Apache Group and supportive of collaborative development across both nonprofit and commercial organizations.
All packages produced by the ASF will be implicitly licensed under the Apache License, version 2.0, unless otherwise explicitly stated.
