So the licence is Apache... is it still open source?
apache licence is similar to the BSD or MIT. but it is more verbose and writes out the rightsthat are granted, whereas BSD and MIT are rather vague. it also deals with patents that might be included in your code. and here is a difference in the new apache license, because the license says, if you sue the license holder (for example the apache foundation) for patent fraud all the granted rights are withdrawn.
marius.
