That is a good point.  So I would change this to any additions to this code
must be licensed under both UCL 1.0 or later and Apache 2.0 or later.  The
UCL had enforces the copyleft behavior while the apache part allows reuse
of new code in proprietary products.

The behavior is not exactly like that of UCL but probably close enough if
folks prefer this to what is written.
