I was also thinking PD: The problem with WebMacro as I see it now is that 
it is _dangerously_ close to abandonware. PDing it shouldn't hurt anyone 
very much, I'd assume, and would hopefully just make it more palatable 
than the current licenses do. But BSD (w/o the "advertising clause", aka 
"New") is also good.

To be frank, I wouldn't have touched WebMacro as it stands now with my 
current knowledge of licenses, and given the now-existent competition with 
their simpler license.

How many are there? "CVS-dump" all committers.
