		The result is a license that is supposed to be compatible with other open source licenses, while remaining true to the original goals of the Apache Group and supportive of collaborative development across both nonprofit and commercial organizations.
		The primary change from the 1.0 license is in the 'advertising clause' (section 3 of the 1.0 license); derived products are no longer required to include attribution in their advertising materials, only in their documentation.
		Individual packages licensed under the 1.1 version may have used different wording due to varying requirements for attribution or mark identification, but the binding terms were all the same.

	i4donline.net ~ October 2004 Issue: Closed Vs. Open Software: License fee and GDP per capita
		Open source, or free software as it was originally called, has become in recent years one of the most talked about phenomena in the ICT world.
		In a reflection of the development process for individuals, countries that profit most from open source are those that contribute back to the community and knowledge base, and there is a built-in incentive (and low barriers) for a shift from being a recipient of skills to being a skills donor.
		This is common sense, but does not seem to be reflected in the BSA estimates of the ‘losses’ to the software industry based on piracy, which assume that all the estimated unlicensed copies of software in a country should (or could) be replaced with paid licensed copies.

		There are various rules which open source licenses must follow, but the basic rule is this: anybody who receives the software is permitted to modify it, and to redistribute the modified version to whomever they please.
		If your software is going to be linked with other software, and the resulting program is going to be distributed, then you must choose a license which is compatible with the existing software.
		Since this essay is aimed at software authors new to the open source/free software world, I've decided to use the term open source throughout the essay.
