>The current page speaks to matters that are none of our business as an Apache Project and it somehow raises a matter of specialized interest as if it matters broadly to adopters of software of various kinds. This is one of six or so CYA pages on the OpenOffice site. The major reason for their existence, is to point ambulance chasers at, when they are convinced that their client is utterly blameless in the reported PICNIC. It would be more appropriate for those CYA pages to be part of the The Apache Software Foundation's official pages, than those of specific projects, but, until the board decides that officially sanctioned pages are needed, then individual projects need to address those issues. They obviously need to rewritten, to be sound less alarming, and pointless to people who understand neither their significance, nor raison d'être. This specific page is relevant to a broad swatch on potential adopters, because it outlines, albeit using FUD-orientated scenarios, potential outcomes of the various types of licenses, if they are not adhered to. One of the other CYA pages addresses a very specific scenario, that is extremely uncommon, but nonetheless emphasizes the importance of doing due diligence on all of the software the organization uses.
