Tony Narlock has suggested switching the Urwid license to an MIT or BSD license. He's raised some issues with LGPL and the difficulty of interpreting it with a Python library like Urwid.
https://github.com/wardi/urwid/issues/41 I'm not opposed to the idea, but it will involve contacting quite a few contributors to get their permission. If some people don't give permission then we would have to consider if switching licenses was worth removing their work from Urwid. i.e. this is not fun or interesting work, but it might be good for the library. If you have relevant information for this discussion, please add it to the ticket above. I contribute code to proprietary commercial, AGPL, GPL, LGPL, and BSD/MIT licensed projects. I'm not interested in the politics of licensing, just the practical advantages and disadvantages. I also don't want to start a flame war here on our peaceful mailing list.
