from fsf.org:

The Apache License, Version 1.1 (http://www.apache.org/LICENSE-1.1).
    This is a permissive non-copyleft free software license with a few
requirements that render it incompatible with the GNU GPL.

    We urge you not to use the Apache licenses for software you write.
However, there is no reason to avoid running programs that have been
released under this license, such as Apache.

And also of interest:

"If you want help choosing a license, evaluating a license, or have any
other questions about licenses, you can email us at
<licensing gnu org>."
