I don't really care too much, so long as it a widely recognised FLOSS license. I have two main concerns - first I want to be able to distribute software using OCC. I think we have that one already. The big hold-up now is that major distributions need to be able to include OCC as a standard package. OCC is a pig to build (anything that large always will be - try installing VTK by hand), so seeing it in standard repositories will be a big help. The Debian guys are making big leaps in this direction.
Another important step is making it easier to use - which is why I think you guys are fantastic! Now if only I can find the time to install pythonOCC and start playing with it properly...
