You can use ASF code in your GPL code. We, the ASF, aren't going to bother you about it. It's just the FSF who thinks they aren't compatible. We want to see our code used far and wide by all comers, be they individuals, companies, free software hackers or people building even proprietary products.

Are you ready to give a written statement on behalf of ASF to re-license ASF code under GPL or any other GPL-compatible license?

The document Apache License v2.0 and GPL Compatibility on the Apache web site may shed some light.

Yes, I've seen that, but I've also seen this analysis, and I tend to agree with it. And debian-legal is as far from being blind FSF's supporters as it could be (see GFDL/DFSG conflict). As I've already said, this horse has been beaten to death already, no need to repeat it once again.
