> This is a very cool exercise, other than the licensing which you require.

The licensing, correct, I won't bend on, though your sentiment confuses 
me. jQuery is being considered by John under a dual GPL/MIT license so 
that it can get into Drupal and, since all my development work is 
centered around Drupal, I'd want something similar for my own needs.

Likewise, the needs and desire for this framework to be
open-sourced goes back to something I wrote six years ago:

If you're against the GPL specifically, fine; if you're against all-OSI 
licenses in general (of which the MIT license is), then I don't "get it" 
- you'd be getting paid either way, and you'd lose ownership of the code 
(the "work for hire") in the first place - you wouldn't get a choice in 
the decision either way. Would it have made a difference if I just said 
"this is a work for hire, I own the code" and then have released it 
under the GPL /without/ having told everyone, and been open about it?

I don't want to drive this thread down the
path of licensing, but am I missing something?
