Btw. the reason I am asking is because I started working on upgrading the 
support for the IllinoisCogComp NLP tools in DKPro Core to recent versions 
[1]. Now I am wondering whether this module should be in the "non-copyleft" 
part which is Apache licensed, or whether it should be GPL-licensed module.

Cheers,

-- Richard
