CPL is very liberal and I am pretty happy with this choice. This is
not our decision after all - it's the author who decides what people
can do with _his_ code.

Still, for me a dual CPL/LGPL license would be nicer. This is purely
for practical reasons - Java itself going GPL, reusing (those few) GPL
Java libraries or embedding Clojure compiler in GPL applications (this
might be OK with CPL, I'm not sure).

Personally I think this article is rather offensive - GPL
incompatibility is (or should be) a problem for people releasing
software under GPL, not others.
