Hello Licensing Experts,

In a recent email that was forwarded to me with the subject: "Subject: Re:
Java, GPL, & APL" you stated that the GPL and the APL licenses are not
compatible at all and this is also reflected on GNU.org.

So, I am wondering what you think of this usage (see URL below) of the GPL
license and whether or not it is legal to distribute a single piece of
software that is dual licensed under both a BSD'ish license as well the GPL:

<http://www.webmacro.org/License.html>

"You may use WebMacro for free use under the GNU General Public License; and
for commercial use outside the GPL. You may also use WebMacro under the
terms of the Semiotek Public License. Feel free to contact us if you would
like to work out a different arrangement than the standard license options
outlined here."

Where the Semiotek Public License is essentially the Apache Software License
1.0.

Another question that I also have is whether or not it is also illegal to
take this same piece of software (WebMacro) which is dual licensed and
distribute it with source code that is only licensed under the APL 1.1.

Thanks,

-jon stevens
