Apache Foundation rejects GPL again

[Rjack]

"The license under which JCK is currently available dictates that
the OpenJDK, GPL-licensed Java Virtual Machines can use the JCK free
of charge. Commercial developers however, still have to pay for the
right to use the JCK license.

The rub for Apache, however, is it doesn't use the GPL for Apache
Harmony, which is the project responsible for creating an Apache
licensed Java implementation."

You little fraudster you.

The mind boggles on whether retards like you are spliffing before posting.

GPL is not compatible with how Apache wants to run its
open source projects. So it can't use the GPL because
it can't comply with GPL terms.
Some day it should make the effort to comply itself
with GPL3 - it will do them a world of good.
Otherwise, like BSD software that becomes less free as time
goes by, accomodating every non GPL project
may also infect Apache core projects.

"Free" as "free as a bird" to use the offered copyrights as you wish
-- like in BSD or MIT licensed software.

"Restricted" as in GPL'd software. Richard Stallman usurped and
bastardized the MIT license into the GPL while at MIT.
