I remember this story from almost a year ago, I tried to get involved a number of times but never got a response. Here's the 10 month old announcement: http://lwn.net/Articles/29364/.
Now it surfaces again out of the blue... is something fishy going on with this book? (lack of complete disclosure is irritating) Someone might need to see a 2x4.

I'm not sure, but I think the Apache 2.0 license has been revised further to make it more clear that it is GNU GPL compatible
Unfortunately not. Instead of fixing the problem, the Apache group made a public statement to say that the incompatibility doesn't exist. - The problem arose from the press release of the Apache License-2.0, in which they gave "GPL compatibility" as a justification for the new license. Note that if you combine a GPL'd and an APL'd work, it's the GPL'd works license that is infringed, so the decision isn't up to the Apache group. The Apache guys might need a good clothes line.
From FSF's license list: The Apache Software License, version 2.0: This is a free software license but it is incompatible with the GPL. The Apache Software License is incompatible with the GPL because it has a specific requirement that is not in the GPL: it has certain patent termination cases that the GPL does not require. (We don't think those patent termination cases are inherently a bad idea, but nonetheless they are incompatible with the GNU GPL.)
By the way, next summer NASA's Cassini spacecraft, launched in 1997, is scheduled to go into orbit around Saturn and its moons for about four years.
The piggybacking Huygens probe is scheduled to go into the hazy Titan atmosphere and land on the moon's surface (if all goes well). The Huygens probe is geared primarily towards sampling atmosphere. The probe is equipped to take measurements and record images for up to 30 minutes on the surface. But the probe has no legs, so when it sets down on Titan's surface its orientation will be random. And its landing may not be by a site bearing organics.

There is a difference between body-slamming some one once, and body-slamming someone a million times. (I've body-slammed well over 100 people in my career, but that's all legit.)
You're talking about a hyopthetical, alternate crime. In *this* instance, 21 people we involved/victimised. So: is *this guy* a terrorist?
webster: Terrorist Ter"ror*ist, n. F. terroriste.
One who governs by terrorism or intimidation; specifically,
an agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the
Reign of Terror in France. --Burke.
The wording looks flawed. Free Software respects their independence, although it's not "produced" in China. (After the IIS backdoors were discovered, every government in the world should have moved to free software - give it 10 years.)
Although I'm a programmer, I've spent time learning GIMP, blender, Sodopi (and a load of applications from other skill domains) - when no one is regulating your use of software, you're free to teach yourself what ever you want.
It's not a qualification, but you can easily learn enough to bluff through an interview. (so long as you can tell that the job is really just a programming job with too many requirements written in the spec to make a manager feel like she's doing her job.)...free software is the way the world *should* work

Don't worry, USA has that feature too.

Doesn't quite seem to fit the bill.
