One thing to discuss is which version of LGPL to use. There are
several options:

  1. Version 2.1
  2. Version 2.1 or (at your option) any later version published by FSF
  3. Version 3 (soon to be published)

Before making the switch from GPL --> LGPL, it would be good to decide
on 1, 2 or 3 so we don't need to make another license change soon.
