I appreciate your efforts as well, Evan - I am a huge proponent of this.  My
suggestion would be to keep the core code AGPL - AGPL'd code is what makes
laconi.ca powerful IMO.  However, any extensions to that code, aka themes
(and maybe in the future plugins???) I recommend using some sort of
BSD-type, business-friendly license that can allow people to build their own
business ideas around the technology.

Thanks again,

Jesse

(btw, I know a couple SMS-centered businesses that may just be working to
integrate with Identi.ca here soon - expect SMS support very soon!)
