I find myself torn between the sympathy for protecting against patent betrayal with the Apache license, and supporting compatibility with the GNU ecosystem on the other. Difficult to form an opinion regarding what _should_ happen here.
- jabl 6y agoYou can use Apache 2.0 license with the "LLVM exception", which was made to deal with the GPL2 compatibility issue (though the LLVM exception is relatively recent, maybe it didn't exist or openssl weren't aware of it at the time). See e.g. https://spdx.org/licenses/LLVM-exception.html https://spdx.org/licenses/LLVM-exception.html . Used by at least LLVM and CUPS.
