Tim, As the component depends on Alipay's java files, I asked the Alipay.com what license of the source files and got the reply that it's in a license we can use them freely without viciousness. I'm not sure what it is, so I used our default license.
We're trying to setup our own opensource brand, it's reasonable to choose LGPL as we're NOT Apache, and LGPL 3.0 is compatible with Apache License 2.0 for everybody. BTW, there are a lot of outstanding opensources in LGPL and also useful for OFBiz, such as captcha, I think Langhua Opensource as a third party will be helpful for the community to fill the licenses gap. "There are mountains, here is a valley" is our slogan and target. We DO work with the community :).
