I'd really prefer KDE to Gnome. However: Gnome is already bloated, and KDE is heading that way.

I'd be happy with Apache, GPLv2 (I'm still not convinced about v3) or LGPL. LGPL is about the easiest to go with...

I decided to look up GPL and LGPL to see what all the banter was about and I have an idea....How about using GNOME?

Now, there's one part of my suggestion that might be offensive to Xastir folks. I think that a core aprslib should NOT be GPL! Open source, yes, but released under LGPL, BSD, MIT or similar license. To make the most of the concept, EVERYONE (even commercial developers) should use this library as the core of their products.

I'd go as far as thinking the library should be LGPL. BSD and MIT are good licenses for some purposes, but the idea of allowing a closed-source fork is not one I think most Xastir developers will be happy with. I'd agree with them.
