You can relicense existing Apache code under the GPL, but not vice versa. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

if you read OpenJDK's GPLv2+classpath exception license it says you can
substitute a newer GPL license like GPLv3. I'm not sure how you incorporate the
classpath exception though sorry. This then means you can add in apache 2.0
code into your new gplv3 project just fine. However its a one way compatibility
so Dalvik code would have to be released under GPLv3 going forward to make this
work. You can't take GPLv3 code into an Apache licensed project.

No the Apache licence is NOT compatible for this purpose.
It's only one-way- (the wrong way) -compatible.
It's perfectly okay to mix Apache and GPL code, but if you do the result must be
GPL. If Android is Apache-licenced then Apache and GPL are incompatible here
because it would force a licence change onto Android.
