Hi Peter, if the FSF needs a copyright assignment, does that not imply that I no longer get to choose the copyright?
As the author, your desire/recommendation would carry a lot of weight :). If you want it released under LGPLv2+, I can't imagine there being a problem with that. Aside from that: the FSF will also accept a copyright disclaimer, putting changes in the public domain. So if that's your preference (as I think I saw in another message), it is fine. I can send you the request form to get whichever one you want started, if no one else has. Thanks, Karl
