hI Tim --
I am personally +1 for LGPL - it is the license I've been using on my
personall other projetcts lately.
However, if Oship 2 is built to be used with Plone, we should attempt
to Plone's license which is pure GPL.
(If it can be factored in an independent Egg which can be used outside
Plone as well - that should not matter, though) .
