It will. Previously, it was licensed under GPLv2 + LGPLv2 with Apple
exceptions. Now it is ASL 2.0 across the board. GPLv2 projects can not
link to the newer version.
Is dynamic linking "legally" considered some sort of derivative work?
If that's the case I can think of cups-pk-helper,
gnome-control-center, gtk+ (the print dialog), etc...
