This has started to bother me. It is starting to become hip to "Dual License"
your code. You are right that the GPL and APL are not compatible but I think
that this does not apply to Dual Licensing IMO. For all intents it is basically
your choice which license you want to use. So if you have two pieces of
software, one is GPL and the other GPL/APL you would pick GPL.
IMO there are a number of downsides to this:
- - the variations of licensing can become confusing.
- - someone could commit a patch that really loves GPL but hates license X. He
decides that he doesn't want to dual license his code :(
- - If someone forks your code they might pick one license and decide to drop the
other license. This will yet again cause problems.
Anyway.....
Kevin

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you.
