I would like to point out that the GNU project talks about the Apache

When dealing with the GPLv3, yes. However, it clearly notes the incompatibility with the GPLv2. Moving to a license that does not resolve the GPLv2 compatibility problem really doesn't help. I guess the overwhelming feedback from the community that the new license really needs to be GPLv2 compatible just went in one eye and out the other, so to speak.

Re: Rich, yes removing the advertising clause is helpful, etc. Just move to plain BSD/MIT license then, and resolve all the issues.

Or, does the community input that was received, that was consistently pointing out that a non-GPLv2 compatible license does not solve the fundamental problems with the current license going to continue to be blatantly ignored?
