A license where code and other artifacts of a project that are licensed under 
NOSA 2.0 could be legally imported into a project that is licensed under 
Apache 2.0 (as defined at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), and 
vice-versa.  We want our code to be useful to the Open Source community; 
having a license that is OSI approved, but incompatible with other licenses 
is, in my not so humble opinion, a bad idea.

Thanks,
Cem Karan
