[I've posted an almost identical message to the ECJ mailing list, in
case you got some de ja vu]

In conjunction with a new release that should come out relatively
soon, I am pondering relicensing MASON under a formal academic (BSD-
style) license.  My top choice at the moment is the Academic Free
License, version 2.1 or 3.0:

2.1     http://www.opensource.org/licenses/afl-2.1.php
3.0     http://www.rosenlaw.com/AFL3.0.htm              [in beta, sorta]

This license is more or less the same as the existing license, but it
is written in better legalese and is well-respected.  Stallman (and
Stallman alone) thinks that the AFL is incompatible with the GPL --
but so is our existing license.

I'm open to any non-viral, non-LGPL license options.  Please offer
your opinions!
