Apache divides its program development activities in to separate semi-autonomous areas called "top-level projects" (formally known as a "Project Management Committee" in the bylaws[7]), a number of which have various sub-projects. Unlike some other organizations that host FOSS projects, before a project is hosted at Apache it's to be licensed to the ASF with a grant or contributor agreement.[8] In this way, the ASF gains the necessary intellectual property rights for the development and distribution of all its projects.
