Thanks for your answers. Sorry for not being so clear in my message.
This line:
*
provide clear attribution to The Apache Software Foundation for any
distributions that include Apache software.
my main reason is that I am not sure how to "provide clear attribution".
I have put a copy of the license in the top of my directory and a
NOTICE saying that the program includes software developed at the
Apache Software Foundation. I am not sure what else to do?
Sounds ok to me.
You can also ask here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL

Here's a section from apache.org specifically labeled "I'M NOT A

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?"
- http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#WhatDoesItMEAN
This is a good place to start, because it's from a "Frequently Asked
Questions" which is specifically aimed at the high-level questions.
Note, this FAQ is written surrounding the 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 versions,
so if
there is a portion you have questions about, you should read the
exact text
from the 2.0 license.
That's a nice link.
There is no reason to panic. The apache license is a very friendly
license. You don't pay anything, and you're not required to publish
your sources, but you must attribute the work you are using - which
any nice person would do anyway.

Hi
I have written a program that uses pdfbox.
What do I have to do with it so that I legally conform to the
apache 2.0
license.
Sorry to bother you with such a naive question its just that legal
stuff
always makes me panic.
Read it here:
https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License
IMHO it is pretty clear what you have to do. However if reading
that makes
you panic, you'll have to hire an attorney :-(
