btw, I found this on the Apache Licencing FAQ (guess you already know it...) :

" It is the unofficial position of The Apache Software Foundation that the 
Apache licence is compatible with the GPL. However, the
Free Software Foundation holds a different position, although we have not been 
able to get them to give us categorical answers to
our queries asking for details on just what aspects they consider incompatible.

Whether to mix software covered under these two different licences must be a 
determination made by those attempting such a
synthesis."
