Which Open Source License for Lisp?
It’s been a long time since I last thought about this. Software licensing is probably the most dreadful computer science topic to me. So out of boredom, laziness, but also out of a feeling of adherence to the ideas behind the FSF, I used to blindly stick the GNU GPL to most of my code. A couple of things made me rethink about that passive attitude recently though, notably the fact that the viral nature of the GPL is not something that I always want.
