[wp-hackers] Apache 2.0 License?

[Chip Bennett]

I'm guessing that it would not be allowed.

After all, even with the official WordPress License "clarification", the
official policy is that even GPLv3 Plugins will not be allowed to be hosted
in the Plugin Repository:

But perhaps the stance will change?
