ModSecurity Important Update

[Tom Brennan <tomb () owasp org>]

Guys, 

To facilitate further development and technological enhancements, ModSecurity has moved to Apache Software License v2. 
This non-viral open source license will now make it easier to implement ModSecurity with existing Apache programs and 
custom solutions, as well as community users to contribute code updates. This new licensing affects ModSecurity v2.6 
(available in SVN trunk repository) and all subsequent code bases.
Additional new capabilities currently available in v2.6 include:
Google Safe-Browsing API Integration: Protection for users and content providers from malicious links
Sensitive Data Tracking: Ability to identify and track US Social Security numbers
Data Modification: Ability to change data on-the-fly, before delivery, in order to better control outgoing content 
according to security policies
