Copyright statements

[jl5000]

In the General FAQ it states the following:

How can I use the published specifications? Permalink The specifications may be copied for the purpose of reviewing or programming of genealogical software, provided the notice below is included:

Copyright © 1987, 1989, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2019, 2021 by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. All rights reserved.

In the introduction to the specification it states:

In accordance with the Apache 2.0 license that governs this work, any other work that is based on or derived from this work must include a readable copy of the following NOTICE. For more information, please refer to the full copy of the Apache 2.0 license.

NOTICE:

Is there any way to make these two statements converge to be more consistent?

Discussed in steering committee. The text in the spec is correct; we need to fix the FAQ to match that.
