FSF says the Version 2.0 license is incompatible with GPL

[Elliotte Rusty Harold]

The official word is out. The FSF has rejected the Apache 2.0 
license. From 
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses

The Apache Software License, version 2.0
    This is a free software license but it is incompatible with the 
GPL. The Apache Software License is incompatible with the GPL because 
it has a specific requirement that is not in the GPL: it has certain 
patent termination cases that the GPL does not require. (We don't 
think those patent termination cases are inherently a bad idea, but 
nonetheless they are incompatible with the GNU GPL.)
