So it seems that the GPL is compatible with the Apache License, because MySQL says so, at least for Apache code they want to use, like APR.
I assume this means you could take a small snippet of MySQL, and use it as a bridge between GPL code and Apache Licensed code? Of course, their section 2.2 says you still have to redistribute your source.
Suppose we then do the same thing independently, but make it a free license - put out some code under the GPL with an exception that is like the MySQL exception, but omits section 2.2 - doesn't force source redistribution of the Apache Licensed work...
Run that by your favorite lawyer, but don't tell them I sent you :) geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
