I agree. My suggestion is to use the "new" BSD license (or the
MIT/X license) if you feel you can, or the LLGPL ("Lisp LGPL")
license <http://opensource.franz.com/preamble.html> if you must.
Failing that, the LGPL or the GPL. Regardless of what anyone feels
about the desirability of using one of those, at least they are
very well known, and their implications are widely thought to be
understood. Anything else is just going create more confusion and
problems with interoperability and/or community contributions, IMHO.
