New Apache License?

Hi all,

I've seen some talk about the consequences of the new XFree86 license,
but I haven't seen any comments on the new Apache license. Again, like
in the XFree86 case, the license has become more complicated - only in
this case immensely so. It's almost impossible to understand without a
lawyer now (see http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), which makes
me wary...

Also, I've seen comments that the new patent clause may be incompatible
with the GPL - does anybody know more about this?

Cheerio,

Thomas
