That's why we have the LGPL - even proprietary stuff can conk against LGPLed
libraries. Of course the situation is different if you want to copy code between
components using different licenses.

Apache has some more detailed information about GPL compatibility here:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html

In one sentence: Apache License is compatible to GPLv3 but not to GPLv2.

Greetings
