Yes, that was the revision where the patent reciprocity clause was in
�5 (now �3, assuming I remember correctly). At that time, he noted
that �5 was in conflict with the GPL.

I definetly think the current draft is closer to GPL compatibility
than the draft as of November 14th, but I'm still of the opinion that
ASL �3 conflicts with GPL �7. Hopefully Eben will be able to either
put my concerns to rest, or clarify the nature of the conflict if it
actually exists.
