apache licence is similar to the BSD or MIT. but it is more verbose and 
writes out the rightsthat are granted, whereas BSD and MIT are rather vague.
it also deals with patents that might be included in your code. and here 
is a difference in the new apache license, because the license says, if 
you sue the license holder (for example the apache foundation) for 
patent fraud all the granted rights are withdrawn.
