| <h2>What does this really mean?</h2> |
| <p> |
| First of all, we work together to achieve the visions of Apache Polygene™, based on technical merits alone in an open and |
| friendly manner, mostly via the dev@polygene.apache.org mailing list. It means that everyone in the community are stake |
| holders in the resulting codebase, and noone can claim it is mine. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Secondly, all source code, artwork and documentation produced in Apache Polygene™ are licensed very liberally under the Apache |
| License ver 2.0. This allows you to use our efforts in your own projects, whether they are open sourced, commercial |
| or any other arrangement you like, subject to a few terms like "Must re-distribute a Notice that your product |
| contains Apache Polygene™ and such. See the License text for exact details, and please consult with IP rights lawyers about |
| this and other Open Source licenses. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Thirdly, Apache Polygene™ invites everyone to participate. There are many ways to participate, not only by writing code. See |
| list in the <a href="participate.html">Participation</a> section. |
