Apache Foundation rejects GPL again

"The license under which JCK is currently available dictates that
the OpenJDK, GPL-licensed Java Virtual Machines can use the JCK free
of charge. Commercial developers however, still have to pay for the
right to use the JCK license.

The rub for Apache, however, is it doesn't use the GPL for Apache
Harmony, which is the project responsible for creating an Apache
licensed Java implementation."
