| |
| |
| <p>The <a href="http://www.apache.org/">Apache Software Foundation</a> |
| provides organizational, legal, and financial support for a broad |
| range of open source software projects. The Foundation provides |
| an established framework for intellectual property and financial |
| contributions that simultaneously limits contributors potential |
| legal exposure. Through a collaborative and meritocratic |
| development process, Apache projects deliver enterprise-grade, |
| freely available software products that attract large communities |
| of users. The pragmatic Apache License makes it easy for all |
| users, commercial and individual, to deploy Apache products.</p> |
| |
| <p>For more details about the Foundation, please see the <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html">Apache Software |
| Foundation FAQ</a></p> |
| |
| <p>The Apache HTTP Server -- sometimes called Apache httpd -- is |
| a project of the Apache Software Foundation aimed at creating a |
| robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available |
| source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. For more |
| information, please see the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/ABOUT_APACHE.html">About |
| Apache</a> page.</p> |

| <h3><a name="background.tested" id="background.tested">How thoroughly tested is Apache?</a></h3> |
| |
| <p>Apache is run on millions of Internet servers. |
| It has been tested thoroughly by both developers and users. The Apache |
| HTTP Server Project maintains rigorous standards before releasing new |
| versions of our server, and our server runs without a hitch on over |
| 70% of all WWW servers available on the Internet. When bugs do show |
| up, we release patches and new versions as soon as they are |
| available.</p> |
