Many thanks Spot. They are now looking for a standard license that will
meet their requirements. Could you take a look at the forum once more?
I would not want to register for yet another forum, but we could
suggest that they use MPL and/or CDDL? Dual-license it with LGPL or
GPL if they need compatibility -- though once you go dual-licensing,
ensuring that upstream can consume any modification would require
copyright assignment.
