Unlike GPL, the Apache license isn't "copyleft" or "viral," so derivative works and modifications don't have to be Apache-licensed or open sourced at all.
- nostrademons 12y agoApache 2 does have have an attribution clause, though (4.c and 4.d). It seems like this implies that if the startup is removing the attribution link or license text from source code files, they're in violation of the license. (BTW, the author should clarify what exactly the investor means by "claiming the work as their own". Are they claiming they have a right to use the work, which they do? Or are they claiming they are the copyright owners, which they are not? Investors are often non-technical and non-legal, so it's quite possible something has been lost in translation.)
