Consider a permissive license #12

Original report by Anonymous.

A BSD, MIT, Apache 2, or similar license would be great. GPL3 is pretty scary for anyone inside an organization.

Can you give a concrete example of how GPL3 is problematic for you? You can still safely use GPL-licensed code inside a for-profit organization (take Linux, for example).

I'm going to close this, as I'm happy with the GPL licensing of this project. I'm willing to reconsider if there are concrete examples of undue harm caused by the current licensing.
