The compatible licenses are referred to as "Category A." The most-recent list appears to be this one: <http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#faq>.
Note that GPL and other strongly-reciprocal licenses are not acceptable within Apache projects. For "weak copyleft" such as the MPL, there are also specific limitations within Apache projects. <http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b> These constraints apply to Apache projects. A non-Apache project that uses ALv2 may have its own rules for how it accommodates material under third-party licenses. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: jan iversen [mailto:jancasacon...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 06:03 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Planned entry for Apache OOO Blog +1 a very well written article, I share your conclusions and polite way of explaning it. Well done. As you write going the other way (use source from derivates in AOO) might prove more difficult, just alone the license issues...is there a rule which licenses are accepted as equal to ours (I think none) ?
