subscribe, looking at the code it actually looks fairly straightforward to add

Subscribing. The editor looks awesome, to me it can be competing with TinyMCE and CKEditor.

Is the Apache License 2.0 compatible with GPL 2?

No, the Apache License 2.0 is not compatible with GPL 2 although it is compatible with GPL Version 3.

However, it may not be best practice to duplicate the code of another project in the drupal.org repository in any case, and the WYSIWYG module has already adopted the excellent convention of putting third-party editors in the sites/all/libraries directory so that you don't lose them when upgrading. This is how TinyMCE and (F)CKEditor and all the rest are handled.

Not sure what all of you like about this editor?

- Invalid and totally deprecated HTML.
- Wrong formatting; no support for paragraphs.
- Ugly, old API.

Even a 15kB jQuery library provides more than this. Google should have spent their time on improving existing implementations instead of re-inventing another wheel of crap.

At this point, this is actually a won't fix, but let's simply postpone it and see whether Google adds yet another editor to the epic editor library duplication story that began in ~1995.
