I wholeheartedly agree. Theres a number of packages out there I'd
love to be able to use in products I'm building. Code re-use,
customers not having to worry about what libraries we're using, and
convincing management to free some of the stuff we're doing, are all
good arguments in favor. The contamination bits of the GPL utterly
prevent us from doing this. BSD, PD, or Artistic licenses are far
preferable.
