This is very good of you to offer! In my own opinion, the two rational
choices are:

1. "GPL Version 2 OR LATER"
2. "Public Domain"

These provide maximum flexibility, and the choice between them in
entirely up to you, depending upon your desire (or not) to insist on a
"share, and share alike" ideal.

For myself, as far as EMC/Linuxcnc goes, I consider myself still bound
(morally at least) to the terms of my original agreement with the
Government, so my stuff (tiny though it is) is "Public Domain".

Before you go and do a bunch of changes and commits, maybe we should
have a discussion about what everyone else thinks. Someone might come
up with some other brilliant idea!

Anyone? Agree? Disagree? Don't care, but want to complain anyway? :)

Thanks,
Matt
