Show me your apache license

This company was aquired by a very large data provider. This company has been in the news lately, it seems that has "given up" a huge amount of personal information, and have been getting some bad press recently. When they bought this guy's company, they started the traditional "move the data center to the home office". During this process, the contact at the home office, ie: the technical contact, also known as the "linux guru", was responsible for gathering all the software licenses. One request struck the sysadmin as very telling. "Send me your 2 apache licenses for your 2 web servers". RUN AWAY!!!! NOW!!!!

Fish: Right there, top of the page. This one's number 1, and that one's number 2. Shark: Oh. Aren't those awfully low numbers? Fish: We were early adopters. Competitive advantage. Shark: Ah. Wait, why are they in different corners? Fish: Security measure. Anti-photocopy technique. That's how you know they're authentic. Defense-in-depth. Shark: Oh yeah, I remember now. Glad I approved it.
