I have hughe problems with the new license.
Sorry to hear that; a large number of people both inside and outside of the foundation worked very hard on the new license. Some of us are convinced that is a substantial improvement.
What exactly is the point of replacing the BSD-style old license that entirely works off the grounds of copyright law by this new beast that requires a bazillion of lawyers to parse and almost certainly goes into contract law?
You will find the venue where that work was done here: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=178
That mailing list is the right place to raise your concerns and, I hope, get
them resolved.
Since this is a decision that we have labored on across the entire
foundation it's just not effective to try and discuss it in this mailing list.
