Apache says 'no' to Facebook code libraries

[tangor]

The Apache Foundation has declared that none of its new software projects can include Facebook's booby-trapped BSD-licensed code.

The foundation's legal affairs director, Chris Mattmann, said over the weekend that libraries, frameworks and tools covered by Facebook's open-source-ish BSD-plus-Patents license should not be absorbed into any new projects.

Any code inclusion of this library code has a short time to remove and replace with something else.

I would have expected no less.

Had this gone through, that Apache avatar might look like Iron Eyes Cody's 'The Crying Indian.'
