Wow, I didn't even know Apache switched licenses.  It makes one wonder
why groups keep changing their licensing when they know that people are
going to shun them for it?  Take XFree86 for example, I have a feeling
they are just going to die here in the near future because of their
license issue.  Why change what works?
