Hi Marissa,

I think there is some confusion.

This mailing list is for reviewing the terms of licenses such as Apache 
2.0 but not really intended for "approving" the software products that 
eventually make usage of these licenses.


If you're the rightful owner of the software, then you can choose under 
which license terms the code is made available.

Just an advice that I noted when looking at your code. I'd recommend to 
place on the header of each source code file a short text explaining who 
wrote the file and which licenses terms are applicable.

You find an example here:
https://github.com/yusuke/twitter4j/blob/master/twitter4j-core/src/main/java/twitter4j/AccountSettings.java


If you need any help, you're welcome to just write me a direct email to 
keep the message exchange on this list focused on its charter.

With kind regards,
Nuno Brito
