hi I really like the Fan API especially the native ones nfan/jfan. Is it possible to use and modify it in order to build a api for work with my own projects - opensource, but maybe also closed?
From the licencing text http://www.opensource.org/licenses/afl-3.0.php I guess it should be possible. But then I'm always a bit careful when it comes to legal subjects...
And the last question, that is maybe a little profane. If I can use your api source I would like to use my own header, but make obvious reference to you. Can I do this and how?
thanks

The license is pretty flexible - it is very similar to Apache 2.0. You can certainly create your own derivative works - that is why we released fan :-) Derivative works can be relicensed under a commercial license if you choose (this is not GPL). You can add your own headers as long as you leave our copyright notice in place.
