協定性質
阿帕奇授權協定阿帕奇授權協定是一個軟體開源協定，英文名：Apache License
軟體開源開源即開放原始碼。其由Bruce Perens（曾是Debian的創始人之一）定義如下：
自由再散布（Free Distribution）：獲得原始碼的人可自由再將此原始碼散布。原始碼（Source Code）：程 式的可執行檔在散布時，必需隨附完整原始碼或是可讓人方便的事後取得原始碼。衍生著作（Derived Works）：讓人可依此原始碼修改後，在依照同一授權條款的情形下再散布。原創作者程式原始碼的完整性（Integrity of The Author’s Source Code）：意即修改後的版本，需以不同的版本號碼以與原始的程式碼做分別，保障原始的程式碼完整性。不得對任何人或團體有差別待遇（No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups）：開放原始碼軟體不得因性別、團體、國家、族群等設定限制，但若是因為法律規定的情形則為例外（如：美國政府限制高加密軟體的出口）。對程式在任何領域內的利用不得有差別待遇（No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor）：意即不得限制商業使用。散布授權條款（Distribution of License）：若軟體再散布，必需以同一條款散布之。授權條款不得專屬於特定產品（License Must Not Be Specific to a Product）：若多個程式組合成一套軟體，則當某一開放原始碼的程式單獨散布時，也必需要符合開放原始碼的條件。授權條款不得限制其他軟體（License Must Not Restrict Other Software）：當某一開放原始碼軟體與其他非開放原始碼軟體一起散布時（例如放在同一光碟片），不得限制其他軟體的授權條件也要遵照開放原始碼的授權。授權條款必須技術中立（License Must Be Technology-Neutral）：意即授權條款不得限制為電子格式才有效，若是紙本的授權條款也應視為有效。

incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
