Actually, Apache license is not a problem - it's a liberal, Open Source license, and since libdispatch
is a system library, there is nothing preventing its use by programs under any kind of license,
including GPL.

Tornado and Grand Central Dispatch: a quick look

Unfortunately the system library exception is not practically usable by
Linux distributors, which means it'll remain unused by Linux distributions
(because what's the point of a system library that you can't link to GPLed
code?).

It should just have been unencumbered BSD, dammit.
