However, if you don't add exceptions no one will be able to redistribute it. You can render the program redistributable by putting a statement similar to "As a special exception from the terms of the GPL you may create derivatives of this program by combining material from it with material licensed under the the Apache 2.0 license <URL>." in your COPYRIGHT file. > If so what would you recommend? Consider the LGPL.
