Larry just said in another message that he agrees with the zlib
license. I'll accept either GPL or zlib, does anyone have any concerns
that are not covered by those licenses ?

The fact that I accept zlib is pretty irrelevant, really, inasmuch as I am
neither a tool author nor a parts author. It DOES matter in that the wrong
license happens to hamper my use of the lib, but not as much as what the
parts authors think. I'm just a gadfly, don't read too much in to my vocalism.

that said...

I prefer zlib to GPL as I think there is less leakthrough of license terms
to derivative works... and that's what I care about most (except for the
second order effect on the likelihood of others continuing to contribute).
