Creating a new license is a non-trivial task. If you do that we recommend that you get your own legal advice.

Some modifications are trivial or purely cosmetic in nature and do not alter the
license in any meaningful way. In such cases, the result would still be considered
the Apache License, and you do not need to change the name in these cases. Using
"https:" for the URL in the license header instead of "http:", or changing the font
or line spacing to make the license more readable, are examples of such changes. If
you are uncertain whether your changes are trivial, you should seek your own legal
advice.

## I've made improvements to the Apache code; may I distribute the modified result? {#Distribute-changes}

Absolutely -- subject to the [terms of the Apache license](/licenses/LICENSE-2.0#redistribution),
