[Drawkit] DrawKit licensing hassles

[M. Uli Kusterer]

Just to add a voice here:
I think that it's OK to ask money for commercial use. Graham deserves it,
and everyone who's looked at this code will be aware of that. This code is
worth it. If it's a one-time fee or, per full version, it's generally a good
compromise between compensation for work and not having to pay 'rent' or
having to pay for each bugfix separately.

The SQLite approach works for some, I've heard, but that's a decision I'd
leave to Graham. Personally, I'd not do something like that right now. But
maybe that's just due to the kinds of code I have, which don't really lend
themselves to an approach like that.

BUT: I think it's a bad idea to call this a 'BSD license'. BSD has a fixed
meaning (free for use and sub-licensing, but need to give credit, + the
usual CYA clauses). Give it your own name, at least. Have you checked
Opensource.org if there's a better license?
http://opensource.org/licenses/category It doesn't contain all licenses, but
it has a good selection of existing licenses out there.

Cheers,
M. Uli Kusterer
