The Apache Model (was Re: Copyright)

I received the following from the Apache people:

I'm obviously looking forward to further information, but this at least
sounds hopefull. The costs are not too high, and I presume one could build
on the work they have done on their by-lays and articles, thereby
short-circuiting that process.

What do other people think?
