Indeed, the FSF states that APL code is not compatible with *GPL[1] (but the opposite is ok).

i have the distinct impression that the statement:
a) APL is incompatible with GPL/LGPL b) but GPL/LGPL is compatible with APL
is wrong because _all_ GPLed software components (including the imported libraries) need to be copyleft software AFAIK?
maybe my explanatory statement is wrong, too. but my impression remains ;-)
No. There are many licences that BSD / ASF style licences can work with. It just cannot work with LGPL or GPL. i.e. its just LGPL and GPL which are viral & can't work with other commercial or open source licences.
James, I haven't been able to find on Apache web site a list of APL compatible licenses. Do you know if such a
document exist?
