I was browsing Apache 1.3.14 source tree and noticed
that it includes the expat library source (fast XML
parser).  From the src/lib/expat-lite/expat.html file:

   Copyright (c) 1998, 1999 James Clark. Expat is subject
   to the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1. Alternatively
   you may use expat under the GNU General Public License
   instead.

So much for ST's "inappropriate license" argument.

(http://slashdot.org/apache/01/02/16/1454202.shtml):

   The Apache Web Server Group believes very strongly in the
   BSD license. The State Threads MPM that Mike has created
   uses NSPR (under the MPL 1.1) for some of its functions.
   We just won't accept any patches to our code that are
   contributed as MPL 1.1. So the State Threads MPM must be left
   out of the tree.

Oh well, it's all moot now anyway.
