Sean,

Have you considered dual-licensing ECJ? There's some standard verbiage floating about that lets the user license under A or B at the user's choice...

The FSF (pretty controversally) has been claiming that the AFL and GPL are incompatible, basically because the AFL is better written with regard to jurisdiction clauses etc., even though one of the AFL's license grants is to replace the license.  AFL's author (Lawrence Rosen) disagrees.
