The Apache 2.0 license is compatible with the GPL in the sense that programs released under the former may be combined into a single work with programs released under the latter,

Business open source licenses, which includes the Apache license, are not compatible with the GPL. One of the areas where they do not align is whether they can be included in proprietary software.

Hi,


it would be nice to have the PCG random number generator(s) included in GSL. C source for the generators exists in https://github ... m/imneme/pcg-c under an Apache license, which AFAIK is compatible with the GPL.

The generator is quite simple, as is shown by the minimal code in
http://www.pcg-ra ... org/download.html (7 lines!).
