Hello Dimitry

is this a good idea? FreeMind can be compiled also without being dynamically
linked to the libraries licensed under Apache 2.0. FreeMind max version
relies on GPL V2+ containing GPL V3. The source code of FreeMind itself can
still be licensed also under GPL V2 apart from being licensed under GPL V3+
without violating any license (GPL V2+ = GPL V2 plus GPL V3+). I am also not
clear about whether dynamic linking in Java is permeable to GPL
requirements.

Best regards,
Dan
