  Would you consider also licensing GMP using Apache 2.0?

I'm against such a move, but the final decision is with the FSF.

Why am I against it?  Just look what Apple did with the Mach kernel and
FreeBSD?  They took their sources and improved them in many ways, but
because of the permissive licenses, Apple could legally choose not to
share the improved versions.
