so what about Sun's Java License? We're doing many imports of JDK public APIs :)
Seriously, I don't want to spoil the party, but it sounds braindead to me that we have to move our own, self-written code out of Apache, even if everyone wants it to stay.
the licensing story is long and (too) complicated, but the ASF position does make sense. You can read more about it in the recent community@apache archives (http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=135), in the general@jakarta archives (http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=19), and on the wiki (http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?Licensing).
The best thing to do to avoid "spoiling the party" is to use only BSD-style license libraries, or get authors of (L)GPL or otherwise "virally" licensed stuff to relicense their materials.
