Note that this new license has only been applied to the current tree,
both 1.3 branch and 2.0 branch; apache 1.3.12 and previous releases are
all under the older license.  Also, the Jakarta and XML Apache projects
have been using this new license since their initial releases.  I'm not
sure if mod_perl has picked this up yet, nor mod_jserv.

When I asked Stallman he said he found it much less troublesome than the
older one, but didn't issue an official declaration or anything.
