I find the perceived GPL incompatibility issues very confusing.  Because
patent protection didn't seem particularly pertinent to vobject, I chose
Apache 1.1 for it.  I have no objection to Apache 2.0, I agree it would
be nice to have consistency, as long as no one ends up with the
impression they they can't use it in their GPL project.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
