Description
So in one of my projects I am using OpenSans font which is under the Apache 2.0 license. And from my understanding we have to include the license file provided by the software, which is under Apache 2.0 license (in this case, OpenSans) to our project. But when reading the license file, what I find confusing is that no where it states the author name. And especially if we go to the very end paragraphs. There is this line -
`Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]`
Which I believe should definitely have the name of the author and a date as well. And this very particular thing confuses me a lot. As this whole license file rather looks like a blueprint to me, and something which someone will apply to their unlicensed work. Also I have tested this with a few other fonts too with an Apache license. And in all of them too there was no mention of the author name and date.
Now I might be misunderstanding something here as I don't clearly understand the contents of the license, except for the fact that we have to put the license file with our work, as I am using a software which is under an Apache license.
