| GPL has never presented a problem to Google. "We typically choose
| the Apache license as we like our code to be broadly adopted both
| within the commercial realm and by our friends in open source,"
| DiBona said. "We have released software under the GPL before when
| it made sense to do so, and we will continue this practice when
| v3 comes out."
