A related discussion that was brought up at FEniCS'10 is the choice of
license. Currently, parts of FEniCS are licensed under GPL while
others are LGPL. This does not really work out unless we add special
exceptions. For example, the Python parts of DOLFIN (which are LGPL)
depend on UFL and FFC which both are GPL and therefore DOLFIN would
need to be GPL (at least the Python parts).

I think we should try to enforce a common license for all parts of
FEniCS, either GPL or LGPL.

We also need to update the licenses to say (L)GPL v 3 or any later
version.
