That's what the Apache foundation thinks. I asked the FSF about this
yesterday, and they seem to think otherwise. Dave Turner, their GPL
Compliance Engineer, told me in no uncertain language that the Apache
2.0 license is *not* compatible with the GPL. :-( It might behoove
the Apache folks to confer with the FSF folks, and find out what the
sticking point is.
