I think Apache or MIT like licenses are bad for the project right now. This would allow people to start diverging from our code and "closing it" while we still lack many important features. For example, we (O.S. Systems) could develop smart-card support and do not share it with rest of project and this would be a big penalty for the project as a whole. LGPL seems to be the right choice IMO. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
