Gotcha. I guess my point is: isn't the same true in reverse? In other words, I 
don't think Apache (ASLv2) is any more restrictive than BSD?

Thanks, appreciate it. I'm also not trying to slight BSD or anything you guys 
are doing. Just trying to find out if there would be a way to release it under 
ASLv2 as well. I'm looking at using OPeNDAP's Java library in some Apache 
projects and I don't really have the time to roll an ASLv2 version from scratch 
(though it's been something I've been considering but just haven't found any 
time for yet).

Thanks, again!

Cheers,
Chris
