The Apache Incubator (original) (raw)

The Apache Software Foundation 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 potential legal exposure for the contributors.

Through a collaborative and meritocratic development process known as "the Apache Way", Apache projects deliver enterprise-grade, freely-available software products that attract large communities of users.

The pragmatic and business-friendly Apache License makes it easy for all users, commercial and individual, to deploy Apache products. Learn more about the ASF as a whole, or engage with the Apache Community Development project with your general questions about the ASF.
