You might want to search the archives as a similar request has

solution presented where you could put an explicit exception for Xerces in.
Thanks for the tip on the archives search--that past request may have come
from me, but the conversation got a little muddled why we sought a
short-term solution. Unfortunately, we do not wish to divert from a pure
GPL license, and therefore we are not inclined to include an exception for
Xerces.
To be clear, we do not seek a change from the Apache license. We would
like to see the Xerces group keep the Apache license as is.
The proposal is to offer an *additional* license, that license being GPL,
at least for the Cleversafe ( http://www.cleversafe.org ) project. The
copyright owner(s) has every legal right to offer their source code under
many licenses at once, and it's a common practice to do so (eg, see
Mozilla's NSS project, which offers both Mozilla and GPL, among possibly
others).
Assuming Xerces can or will not do this, we may seek some other
alternatives besides Xerces.
Thanks again, and best regards,
-Matt
