Hi - I'm the lead developer for Propel.  We haven't really had licensing
questions come up, as is probably not surprising for a small, PHP project. 
That's not an excuse for having a bad license, merely an explanation of why we
could find ourselves in this position now.  I will note that I definitely spent
some time researching this back in 2002 when the project started -- and know
that I talked to the Torque folks about this question -- but I also will concede
that there is clearly explicit documentation now indicating that these licenses
are incompatible.  So, not sure exactly what informed the decision that LGPL was
compatible.

We would like to resolve this problem (and respect the license of source work!);
I am certain that getting the contributors to agree to a license change to a
Apache-based license (e.g. PHP license?) will not be a problem.

To correct our wiki document, original Propel was based on Torque at a time when
 I'm quite certain was actually the Apache 1.1 license.  My understanding is
that Apache 2 license wasn't released until much after original Propel release.

I don't think that changes the basic problem here.  I will work with the
developers to get this resolved in a timely manner.
