Would you like to consider the "GNU General Public License with runtime exception" (RGPL)?

How do you think about the details from the discussion "(L)GPL and C++ templates issue"?

Hi,

the licensing of NT2 and its associated toolbox is currently unclear.
We initially thought that LGPL will be sufficent but it seems it is not.
Thanks for the light up on those pages, we'll adjust our license to fit in one of them.

I would appreciate further comments for the suggested adjustment.

How do you think about the licence approach from a header-only library like "http://www.stlsoft.org/"?
