But I must admit I liked the old JTSK footer even better (more correct) as it refers to the ALv2, which is:Copyright 2005, Sun Microsystems, Inc. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. (hyperlink to ALv2) So if possible I would go for something like: Copyright 2007, The Apache Software Foundation. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. (hyperlink to ALv2)The "best" alternative would probably be to drop the copyright line altogether or use something like "Copyright, multiple authors", perhaps with a link to the NOTICE file.
Hi Jukka, I guess you mean something like putting the NOTICE file into a doc-files directory and include it with the Javadoc generation. I still think we need a reference to the ALv2 as the generated API is subject to it. Some people copy spec language from the javadoc so I think it is essential to get the licensing terms in there too as javadoc doesn't allow you to add license headers to the generated HTML. -- Mark
