Disclaimer: IANAL and you should always do your own research before
applying software licenses :)
The Apache Software License has no bearing on the workings of the ASF.
Generally, the ASL is a permissive license which allows your software to
be used in a variety of ways/means. The source does not have to be
redistributed with this license. You can also relicense the code.
As far as compatibility between ASL and GPLv3 is only one way:
https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html
GPLv3 is generally similar, but you must distribute the source. Code
which uses GPLv3 must also be distributed as GPL.

I have been working on a tool, that I am calling Q4A.
However, due to my upcoming wedding, I have not had much time to work on
it. I was hoping during the Accumulo Hackathon this week, I could actually
get some more elbow grease into it and maybe get some help working on it.
Currently, I need someone to give me some advice on Licensing for the tool.
So if anyone would like to give some advice that would be great.
I was looking at the ASF license but it not sure how it works for outside
the ASF and the GPL3 which is said to be compatible with the ASF license.
