- ghaff 9y agoApache-licensed code can be used in GPL projects. Just not the other way around (as noted in your link). [ADDED: WRT GPLv2 specifically, the quote from the link is: "the FSF has never considered the Apache License to be compatible with GPL version 2, citing the patent termination and indemnification provisions as restrictions not present in the older GPL license." However, note that the quote specifically says that it's the FSF's opinion.]
- carussell 9y agoGPLv3 code can incorporate Apache 2.0 code, but GPLv2 code cannot.
