Hi John,

I was packaging tonight conduit 0.3.11.2 and when I was updating our
debian/copyright file I realized about the clash that is produced when
using gdata and atom sources, which are under Apache License v2.0 with
sources licensed under GPL v2only. These are shutterfly. Conduit
sources are not affected as they are licensed under GPL v2 or any
later, which includes v3.
As you can read at Gnu.org site Apache license is incompatible with GPL v2:

 Apache License, Version 2.0
    This is a free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GPL.
    Please note that this license is not compatible with GPL version
2, because it has some requirements that are not in the older version.
These include certain patent termination and indemnification
provisions.

The problem is that it is the same that we treat this as an internal
lib, or use Debian package. Due to other modules licenses, this
package can no longer be distributed in Debian
I can remove those GPLv2 modules till they're relicensed.

SmugMugAPI should be relicensed to GPLv2 or any later to be included.

Thanks
