1. Not all core devs were invited

2. He tried getting some GPL software relicensed as Apache under false pretenses.

But this is what confuses me. If you don't want this happening, why license your code as Apache?

If Samsung would have done this, this would have been hailed as a success of non-copyleft licenses (like when MS used BSD's network stack). Why do they have a problem when a core dev does is?
