[bip] changing the Pygr license?

[Christopher Lee]

Based on feedback from a number of people who felt that the GPL  
license was too limiting, I'm thinking of changing the Pygr license  
from GPL to BSD, but would first like to get people's advice about  
what they think would be the best license to use.  I only used GPL  
originally because it seemed to be what people favored at the time.   
If people now feel that GPL is too restrictive, we can change the  
license.  In my view, the main purpose of the license is just to  
ensure that the software is as useful as possible to people, within a  
reasonable set of assumptions about sharing and attribution.   Based  
on the discussion on this group, it sounds like people prefer BSD.

I'd be very grateful for comments on this proposed change...

Thanks!
