The full clause:
3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution,
if any, must include the following acknowledgment:
"This product includes software developed by the
Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)."
Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software itself,
if and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.
Some discussion on this down in one of the other threads observed
that "may appear in the software itself" does clearly include
/usr/share/doc/foo/copyright, or wherever the license text is--it
doesn't say "in the binary itself". So, if this interpretation is
valid, it's still an annoying verbatim requirement, but without
contamination issues.
