My 0.02 Euros: in my experience people don't tend to get too riled up about
specific licenses for _apps_ (provided the license in question is "open"),
but do tend to get religious about them over _libraries_. For example, i
can't imagine there would be a split in the fossil community if it suddenly
went GPL (whereas there would be a huge split if sqlite3, being a
widespread library, did that).
