The main trouble is, they kept it explicitly incompatible with the
future.
Thats why i'm for selecting a desirable licensing line (either gpl2 or
lgpl2)
Then we decide on the "or any later version" clause and end up with
endless forward compatibility due the automated re-licensing.
to be sure no-one messes with our license all code that goes back into
Pida must have exactly this license.

I don't like the centralizing of control,
however we should make a centralized agreement on licensing and future
support.
It should be something clear, "simple" and _final_.
