I don't think the APSL 2.0 is acceptable for main.

Last time we discussed this license on debian-legal, the consensus
seemed to be that software distributed (solely) under the terms of the
APSL version 2.0 does *not* comply with the DFSG.
I've just re-read the thread: it seems that nobody said the license was
OK.

Please see the following thread
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/06/msg00545.html
for all the details.


As usual: IANAL, TINLA, IANADD, TINASOTODP.
