Jordan Justen brought to my attention that, according to the Apache and GNU websites, Apache 2.0 is incompatible with GPLv2 because GPLv2 lacks a patent indemnification clause. (It is compatible with GPLv3, however). See [1] [2] [3]. By the same logic, a lawyer could argue that Apache 2.0 is also incompatible, in one direction only, with minimal gift licenses such as BSD and MIT. I do not want license incompatibility to prevent any project from using Waffle's code, so I'm converting the project to use the most liberal license possible, BSD 2-clause [4].
