Merry Christmas to you, Weiwei. If you want to release your software under *exactly* the Apache License (version 2.0 is the most current form of it), you may do so very easily - just read the appendix at the end of this page: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
In particular, note that becoming an "Apache Software Foundation" project (via the Incubator process, as mentioned by Hira) is different than releasing your code as Apache licensed. Being an ASF project requires applying, generating a community around your project, and is a large undertaking. Releasing your project as Apache licensed you may do without asking anyone for permission or asking for any help - if you own the copyright and patent rights to the work, you may release it under the Apache license by putting the code somewhere for people to get (sourceforge, google-code, github, your own server, wherever), and include the above-mentioned license file. -jake On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 7:41 PM, Weiwei Wang <ww.wang...@gmail.com> wrote: > Merry Christamas, guys, > > I haven't taken part in any open source activties and currently I want to > make my project open source under apache public license?
