    “This is why we can’t have nice things.” The license change sucks but makes total sense. I guess Dave Kinne there fucked around and found out, to the detriment of everyone.

    As usual, the unresolved underlying issue is, how to get funding for FLOSS projects. Entitled cheapskates are nothing new; a generic solution to the issue, would be something new.

    So they never got contribution from anyone else or is Apache not really copyleft?
