Could you explain how? The advertising clause still remains. Is this your
opinion or Stallmans?

Which latest version of the APL. The only one I saw was 1.1 and this still has
the APL. I hope this isn't true because I have a lot of Apache code that I
would not want under this license...

No... it isn't. I talked to RMS about this < 1 month ago and the situation is
resolved. As long as the licensing clause is in the APL they are not compatible
... :(. A lot of the BSD projects are now dropping the advertising clause but
this basically makes them public domain which is scarry :(. Much better to just
migrate their projects to GPL.
