I was wondering the same. It would be great to switch to another license as the Apache License is clearly targeting source code.
How would I write a mandatory
NOTICEfile for my project if the providedLICENSEfile doesn't even have a copyright notice?One could argue that the license is not even valid because it is not applied correctly.
