It is your code and you are free to license it any way you chose. I think there may be a solution that gives you what you want *and* will spur the growth of Clojure even more into places where people have to deal with the GPL. If I understand you correctly, you want a *subset* of the GPL's conditions to apply. A license with a subset of the GPL's conditions is GPL compatible. The *only* problem with the Common Public License is the "choice of law" clause. From what you said, it doesn't sound like this is forefront on your mind for why you chose the CPL. What about these license alternatives?..... (1) The Common Public License with an explicit exception negating the "choice of law clause". (2) LGPL or GPL with explicit exceptions negating the conditions you don't desire. (There are examples of projects 'weakening' the GPL in various ways to suit their needs.) Please understand, the only potential issue is merely one tiny odd requirement of the CPL that may cause more problems that I think it is worth. I'd hate to see you not "have your cake and eat it too" if it only required a small alteration.
