The Apache 2 license is fully compatible with GPLv3, and similar to the BSD License, but it contains an extra clause covering patent indemnification (see #3 here: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html). The Apache License, Version 2.0 is not compatible with GPLv2, and more strict than BSDL. -- NARUSE, Yui naruse@airemix.jp
