Re: [OT] Follow-up on license compatibility
Please allow me to suggest taking these questions to legal-discuss@
Though there may be many subscribed to this list who are quite well
informed about licensing, commons-dev@j is probably not a good forum
for these discussions.
Marked OT.

It's been asked multiple times, on both public and private legal lists. The
last time I saw it mentioned was a couple of weeks ago, but I don't recall
which list that was on.

Thanks Martin. I assume the question was asked on the legal list and I
could therefore find it in the archives? Just so I have an idea of how
long ago it was...

The question has already been asked, and the ASF legal team is working on
the answer. When there is an answer, it will be posted on the Licenses page:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/
Unfortunately, lots of people want to know about compatibility with lots of
different licenses, so the legal team has its work cut out for it.

Wasn't aware of that, sorry. By the progress of this thread, looks
like reposting is not necessary.

Actually, that list isn't open to non-committers except by invitation...
could a committer possible repost there my query for me, and of course by
extension any resulting answer? Unless anyone wants to extend an
invitation ;)
