The top page and the Download page don't even tell what licence is applicable, IMHO that crucial information should be presented to the user between the time it hits the home page and the time he's told how to install it on Fedora 17.
That's a great point.
Is it enough to mention "ASL2.0" in the footer and link to a licensing page, like the current oVirt.org website does? Or should we say more?
IMHO, the license matters at earliest when you're downloading (so not on the front page), and probably only when you're making changes (the "Developer" or "Contributor" pages). The important thing is to let people know that the product is open source - that they are free to modify and redistribute it. The actual license only matters at the point where you want to do that.
