Yeah, you are right. We clearly live in a world where "whatever license" means "whatever FOSS licence". If only the rest of the world thought that way too...

Thanks for the update to your article.

Licences

Updating the press release would also be a good idea ("...to use whatever free software license..."). I also would have assumed it meant that proprietary licences would be accepted. Since Google distributes proprietary software, the mention of "Google-hosted" doesn't clarify the licence situation.

Thanks for dropping by with the good news. I'm relieved to hear Apache won't be delivering proprietary software.
