Apache Foundation Co-Founder Likes GPLv3

[...]

“This what Apache has long wanted because we do want them [GPL-oriented developers] to use it [Apache code], and we didn’t like even considering the prospect of GPL-only re-implementations of our works just for compatibility’s sake.” GLPv3, he [Apache Foundation co-founder] added, “is good news, from my perspective.”

Let the list grow. It truly is a matter of momentum. Those that wait and watch might sooner or later find comfort in the decisions made by others, as well as professional judgment (not just ‘cattle effect’). Disinformation will wear off, as well.
