<h3><a name="background.what-is-apache" id="background.what-is-apache">What is Apache?</a></h3>
<p>The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization providing support for the Apache community of
open-sourced software projects. For more details, please see the <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html">Apache Software
Foundation FAQ</a></p>
<p>The Apache HTTP Server -- sometimes called Apache httpd -- is
a project of the Apache Software foundation aimed at creating a
robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available
source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. For more
information, please see the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/ABOUT_APACHE.html">About
Apache</a> page.</p>

<h3><a name="background.tested" id="background.tested">How thoroughly tested is Apache?</a></h3>
<p>Apache is run on millions of Internet servers.
It has been tested thoroughly by both developers and users. The Apache
HTTP Server Project maintains rigorous standards before releasing new
versions of our server, and our server runs without a hitch on over
70% of all WWW servers available on the Internet. When bugs do show
up, we release patches and new versions as soon as they are
available.</p>
<h3><a name="background.logo" id="background.logo">May I use the Apache logo on my product or Web site?</a></h3>
<p>You may <em>NOT</em> use any original artwork from the Apache
Software Foundation, nor make or use modified versions of such
artwork, except under the following conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>You may use the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/apache_pb.gif">'Powered by Apache'
graphic</a> on a Web site that is being served by the Apache HTTP
server software.</li>
<li>You may use the aforementioned <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/apache_pb.gif">'Powered by Apache'
graphic</a> or the <a href="http://www.apache.org/images/asf_logo.gif">Apache Software
Foundation logo</a> in product description and promotional material
<em>IF and ONLY IF</em> such use can in no way be interpreted as
anything other than an attribution. Using the Apache name and
artwork in a manner that implies endorsement of a product or
service is strictly forbidden.</li>
