Thanks, I noticed diagram now. This is something I recognized. 

Unfortunetly I see that Free Software Foundation claims that MIT(X11)
and BSD are GPL compatible [1]

That seems to be serious problem for developers. I'm in process of
selecting license for some new work for ADempiere project [2]

That project is GPL2 licensed with commercial options avaialble [3]

One main goal of selecting license is library community. Especially in
Java ecosystem there is huge number of libraries written with Apache2
license.

It seems that currently only viable option is LGPL2.1+

Kind regards,
