Don, my decision what kind of license to use is already made. I think  
that has been clear from the beginning.

The part of the discussion that I still think warrants some time and  
attention is whether and how to mix with other projects that are  
under a different license.

 From what I've read so far my inclination is not to mix licenses. It  
will be cleanest, clearest and provide the least possibilities of  
trouble and misunderstandings. If this means (partly) reinventing  
some wheels that are only available under another, more restrictive  
license then that can't be helped.

Of course this does not exclude the possiblity that some people will  
use this project and interface it with projects under another  
license. After all, open-source allows a lot of actions by others.  
But I won't encourage it.
