Naughty, naughty.  Very bad netiquette.  I almost didn't moderate that
email through, since it was held by mailman for the excessive amount of
cross-posting.

Instead of cross-posting to so many lists, I'd recommend sending
individual emails to the various lists, and refer the conversation to
some other list.  I see you sort of do that in the email, encouraging
people to join the Apache license mailing list.

I encourage followups to go to the Apache list, at license@apache.org. 
Here's info on how to describe:

  http://www.apache.org/licenses/proposed/

I'm all in favour of trying to make all the licenses play more nicely
together.  However, as we're in the situation where we can't really
change our license, I'd prefer the discussion be held there, rather than
here.

Cheers,
