    People talking other peoples work and scaming unsuspecting people with it is not ok.

    Englisch Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License

    German Wikipedia, summary translation as its better sorted and explained:

    A copy of the license (or the reference to the license) must be included in the package.
    
    Changes to the source code of the software under the Apache license do not have to be sent back to the licensor.
    
    Your own software that uses software licensed under the Apache license does not have to be licensed under the Apache license.
    
    Your own software may only be called Apache if you have written permission from the Apache Foundation.
    

    The following also applies to version 1.1:

    If you distribute it, it must be clearly indicated which software was used under the Apache license and that it originates from the licensor (name of copyright owner).

      Draw.io says it will use Apache but “with an extra line forbidding usage (…)”. It is not the normal Apache license. The extra line is a big difference in principle.

      I hate scamming people but I think that should be fixed in another way.

        From today the license applied to the project will be the Apache 2.0 license with an extra line forbidding usage of the codebase as an integration or app to Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products

        Seems pretty specific to me.
