The Apache license only requires keeping copyright notices in the source when redistributing. See section 4.
May I had used the wrong words. No notice is printed right now. The meaning is "Just do not remove the existing notices from the source". Can you please rephrase the README one and contribute a more correct version? If possible, keep some joke in.
Sub-licensing does not let you change the license. See a legal dictionary.
May I had misunderstood the license... maybe not. The Apache license' FAQ says that I can change the code to another license (if I understand it correctly): http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#Distribute-changes
You may distribute the result under a different license, but you need to acknowledge the use of the Foundation's software.
If the name of it is "relicense" instead of "sublicense" then I will change the README. I do not have an English legal dictionary, nor it is my mother language. Can you please confirm that Apache allows it and it fixes your issue?
Thanks for bringing up this topic anyway.
Hi! I just found this issue again. Regarding changing the license: people are allowed to sublicense (grant others a different license to the code) but can't change the terms they originally received the software under.
