GeoExt releases will not include Ext, so people using GeoExt will need to get Ext from http://extjs.com. Because of that GeoExt falls into Ext's ux licensing exception (<http://extjs.com/products/ux-exception.php>) and can be released under a permissive license like BSD. MapFish aims to provide a more packaged solution; in particular MapFish releases do include Ext. Because of that MapFish Client must be GPL. We haven't received too much complain about MapFish Client being GPL at this point, so we haven't considered taking Ext out of MapFish Client and releasing the whole MapFish distribution under a BSD-like license. At this point it is not clear to me what directions we will follow with respect to that.
