Re: Thinking out loud about a new RPG web framework

I would be very wary of a GPL license. For better or for worse, GPL is (or at is least viewed as) an anti-commercial political statement as it is a distribution license. We do have a little bit of GPL code here but we don't modify it so for us, GPL isn't much better than closed source commercial software (the obvious advantage being we can look at source when needed for debugging). IMHO, the Apache license is a much better corporate fit.
Some companies have decided on GPL for the OpenSource version and that you can buy a version not under GPL (which is one way to monetize). As Open Source does not mean that you loose copyright the owners can do what they want with their code (at this point).
Would that be an option?
