Hey all,

Just wanted to re-open the discussion on the gibberbot license.   
Normally I advocate using the GPLv3.  Since Gibberbot is based on an  
Apache-licensed project (Android IM), uses another Apache-licensed  
library at its core (SMACK), and the Apache 2.0 license is compatible  
with the GPLv3 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html)  
I think we should call our Gibberbot code also Apache 2.0 licensed.

That's my two bits.
