Hi,

Saw that I forgot to answer one of your questions.

That was sloppy wording. I should have said that the new version (1.1)
has a less restrictive advertisement clause then the original Apache license.
It is now possible to do the wording in the end user documentation or in
the software itself, which is easy because you will always include the
original license file to the software as end user documentation which
contains the acknowledgement :) So that part is not GPL incompatible.

But that still leaves the trademark naming clauses (4 and 5) that are
added restrictions that make the apache license GPL incompatible.

Cheers,

Mark
