We recommend taking the approach of using the Apache 2.0 license, with the binary attribution exception (discussed before), and add an additional exception to handle the situation of GPL2 compatibility if it ever arises.

Definitely sounds like they want to relicense to Apache 2.0, not GPLv2

Yeah sorry mixed it up

What would be the implications of this? I don’t understand if this is bad news or good news

Basically, nothing of too-huge consequence. Apache 2.0 is permissive, but less so than NCSA, for reasons mostly having to do with patents.
