This should be perfectly fine. Seems Free (libre)
Software is making great progress in medical

As an academic physician I am working on a set of

applications using Python and wxPython that I wish
to make open-source.
I have started this project by working on a
*framework* for such
applications (called Mindwrapper), and because
Python and wxPython both
have licenses somewhat similar to BSD, I have
released the first version
of Mindwrapper under a BSD license. My intention is
to continue
development of Mindwrapper using BSD.
OTOH, I would like to use a GPL license for the
custom clinical
applications (the set of which I call Prism) that I
will develop using
Mindwrapper. Is this combination of licenses
reasonable?
My thinking is this. I want to make sure that the
clinical (Prism)
programs always remain free, but I don't especially
care if the
(Mindwrapper) tool set is used as part of a
proprietary product. What I
clearly do want is for other Python and wxPython
developers to feel
comfortable contributing to Mindwrapper, and my
clear sense is that most
of them prefer BSD-style over GPL-style licenses.
