Apache license? Is that normal, to mix?

Also, where is the list of contributors, or statement of copyright with contact info and jurisdiction? I couldn’t find those for f-droid client either (in other thread), is it normal practice?

Post an example for other apps that have “statement of copyright with contact info and jurisdiction” and that contributor list.

Also, why is that a MUST?

/LE: it appears MIT and Apache2 are both permissive and they can be mixed, what I don’t know for sure is if the whole app is now Apache2.
