When I want to use the Apache 2.0 licence in my project, I should include this in the comments of my source code:Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the License);you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.You may obtain a copy of the License at    http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, softwaredistributed under the License is distributed on an AS IS BASIS,WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.See the License for the specific language governing permissions andlimitations under the License.What name should I fill in for [name of copyright owner]? I am currently working alone on this project, but I'm going to release the source code so there might be other contributors in the near future.
On what name should I claim copyright in open source software?
open source;licensing;apache license
You can release new versions under different licenses or with new ownership attributions, which is easy-ish to manage, or you can retrospectively sign older versions over to new owners, which is more of a pain.Personally I favour an approach whereby once a version is released under a given license, that's final. Later versions may have new author attributions or switch licenses entirely.
