We are supportive of all Free Software and licenses which fit the
criteria of the necessary four freedoms. The Apache licence
qualifies as a Free Software license.

Of course there are differences in the Free Software licenses
I just wanted to point them out.

Thanks.
Your mail was definatly interesting for the list.
I am trying to make sure that the focus on Free Software of this
list is understood so this gave another opportunity to point out the
nasty little differences in proprietory software called "freeware"
or "freely" available and Free Software.
