Yahoo became the "platinum" sponsor of the Apache project

Following Google and the second Internet giant, Yahoo, decided to support the Apache Software Foundation project, within which a web server of the same name is being created, which has been holding the title of the most popular for more than 11 years. Yahoo became Apache's “platinum” sponsor, which means funding of at least $ 100,000 per year.

“ASF sponsorship demonstrates our commitment to a quality open source infrastructure. We are going to continue our cooperation with ASF for years to come, ”said Yahoo co-founder David Filo.

Against the background of the continued weakening of Apache's position in favor of Microsoft IIS, the news of its support from two web giants at once looks encouraging.
