This script periodically crawls all Apache project and podling websites to check them for a few specific links or text blocks that all projects are expected to have. The checks include verifying that all required links appear on a project homepage, along with an "image" check if project logo files are in apache.org/img
The script also checks for 3rd party resource references that might be in conflict with our privacy policy.
The Content-Security-Policy (Csp) check is a work in progress: it only checks that the default settings have not been over-ridden. It does not check if the host exceptions have been approved.
