FoundationThe Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a non-profit corporation to support Apache software projects, including the Apache webserver. ASF was formed from the Apache Group and incorporated in Delaware, USA, in June, 1999.
The Apache Software Foundation is a decentralized community of developers working on its open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license. Each project is managed by a self-selected team of technical experts who are active contributors to the project. ASF is a meritocracy implying that membership to the foundation is granted only to volunteers who have actively contributed to Apache projects.
Among the ASF's objectives are to provide legal protection to volunteers working on Apache projects, and to protect the Apache brand name from being used by other organizations. The Apache project is the origin of the Apache-style license.
