any consideration towards a dual licence or licence change?

[Bradley Beddoes]

Hi All,
I have had a search through the archives and couldn't find much on this 
topic, though if there is a thread I have missed please point me in the 
right direction and accept my apologies.

My primary question is has the project considered supporting the Apache 
2.0 license (or similar)? We generally find this makes integration with 
other OSS projects a lot easier as its much less restrictive then 
GPL/LGPL which in turn attracts more folks, especially from corporate land.

I understand that LGPL may have been chosen to ensure that the community 
is forced to release modifications back to the project, however we have 
personally found that this works equally as well with the Apache 2.0 
license and removes the extra confusion (we are programmers after all 
not lawyers :) ).

A change to Apache 2.0 or a dual license if it was felt needed would 
certainly get a big vote from myself.

regards,
Bradley
