RMS on GPL3 draft 3 (significant changes from draft 2).

"So we are compatible with that clause in the Apache licence but a few months 
ago we noticed that there was another clause in the Apache licence requiring 
indemnity in certain cases, and there's no way we can be compatible with 
that. So we're not going to achieve that goal of making GPL version three 
compatible with the existing Apache licence. I regret that."

Which means we can't comply 100% with the law while including Apache Commons 
code in Freenet. :| Except maybe by adding an exception to the license, which 
requires permission of all copyright holders, and that's a *MAJOR* PITA.
