Jan, sorry I overlooked this email!

We'll stick with the current license.  I'm sympathetic to the GPL and 
LGPL
and it suits my _personal_ politics.  I consider myself to be at least 
two
standard deviations to the left of the US political center -- making me
only marginally left in Europe, eh? :)

However, I am stuck working in the US, and my clients are (presently) US
companies.  For the software that I am going to use in business, I 
think a
less political license is best.

I hope this choice won't prevent other developers from joining us.  The
Python programmer that J.F. and I are most interested on getting on
board to start is Frank Warmerdam, and he seems to be pretty satisfied
with the MIT-style license.

cheers,
Sean
