MPL did only solve this by adding you could take MPL or LGPL...
Too bad for lawyers but it's gonna be yet another era where we shall live in happy legal contradiction and such picky statements as the "incompatibility of GPL with Apache license" will continue creeping in...

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.)
