The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a nonprofit foundation that supports Apache software projects, including the Apache HTTP Server. It was formed in June 1999 by combining the Apache Group with a Delaware company in the US.
The Apache Software Foundation (hereafter, the Foundation) is a distributed community of developers. The software they develop is distributed under the terms of the Apache License and must be free/open-source software. Apache projects are defined by a collaborative, consensus-based development process and an open, pragmatic software license. Each project is managed by a self-selected team of technical experts who are active contributors to the project. The Foundation is a meritocracy, and membership in the Foundation is granted only to volunteers who have actively contributed to Apache projects.
Among the Foundation's purposes are providing legal protection for volunteers working on Apache projects and preventing other organizations from using the Apache brand without permission.
The Foundation also holds the ApacheCon conference every year, focused on bringing together Apache developers and technologies related to Apache projects.
