License Compatibility: Google vs. Apache (fwd)

[Joshua Kramer <jo...@globalherald.net>]

(This is a subthread of the Protocol Buffers discussion I started)

Does anyone know if the Google license is compatible with the Apache license 
under which QPid is released?  If nobody knows offhand I'll do some research to 
find out.

I would like to take some code from the Protocol Buffers utilities (beyond the 
libraries themselves) to use in creating the PB exchange that I discussed in a 
previous thread.  The COPYING.txt present in the PB distribution is reproduced 
in its entirety below.

Thanks,
-Josh
