Re: The new apache license

I did as well.  This tendency toward "full-employment-for attorneys" has
to be protested.  (We may not be able to stop it, but we can at least
remind them of our displeasure.)  Maybe widespread forking can reverse
this insanity?

The _lack_ of hair-splitting is the advantage of non-GNU licensing.  Why
the heck is the Apache group giving this up for a convoluted and
incomprehensible license?  Maybe Apache has been hunkering down with the
FSF lawyers?  Next we'll start hearing the "interpretations" (indeed, it
seems to already have begun on this list!).

WTF?
