I have made a piece of software that I want to place on sourceforge. It is a library that makes use of lucene and a lot of other jakarta commons components. Those jars are licenced under the apache licence (2.0). Does the AL being incompatible with the GPL make it impossible for me to licence my library under the GPL? I find the whole this-links-with-that clauses in the GPL very vague. I can probably licence my software under another GPL incompatible licence, like AL, right? Any advice on this?
