AW: License proposal

LGPL is "sticky" where BSD is not. Means: LGPL code ALWAYS has to stay
LGPL. No closed source derivations are allowed of LGPL code. BSD allows
closed source forking (like IBM or Sun are doing with Apache and Tomcat
which are based on the Apache license which also allows that). I think
this is the main difference...

Objectweb would also allow BSD licensing but

+1 for LGPL from my side !

Greetings.

Alfred

IANAL, but I believe in the LGPL. If somebody gives me good reasons for
a 
bsd-style second license, I'll consider that, too.
