Deleted page: Apache Celix

Hi. The deletion log shows that you deleted Apache Celix for copyright infringement of https://celix.apache.org. As Vice President, Brand Management and a Director of the Apache Software Foundation I can confirm that there was no copyright infringement. https://celix.apache.org is published under the Apache License, version 2 which grants a copyright license for such uses. I therefore ask that the page be re-instated. Thanks. Markt-asf 23:13, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

• Roylenferink can re-create it if they really think the subject is notable. — RHaworth · 22:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Explanation ASF articles

As Mark explained the websites of Apache Projects are licensed under the Apache License, version 2 as well. Therefore creating articles on wikipedia containing text or logos which are used on the Top Level Project its website are allowed to do so.

Copyright problem on Apache Celix

Source code and its accompanying machine-readable documentation is released under license. The webpage from which you are copying is marked as copyright, and does not appear to be released under license. I am nominating for deletion again and another admin will assess. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:00, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

I've changed my mind on the nomination; I think this is a compatible license, and the page says it is released under license. However, attribution is required: What this means is that you have to state that the prose was copied and provide the reader with a link to the compatible license. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. This is a legal requirement and cannot be omitted on any articles you create. Note you cannot copy documents that do not explicitly state they're released under license. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:26, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, thanks for noticing and making the change. As I said I have asked for this on the Apache Comdev mailing list and the response can be found here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/community-dev/201803.mbox/%3C82215d35-94a9-e8bb-ed03-c9bf7e43c02a%40apache.org%3E

Next time I'll make sure to explicitly mention the license. Thanks for your help!
