I guess I still support considering a permissive license (ie, BSD or MIT). I'm curious why folks prefer GPL? Does a non-GPL license make it more difficult to incorporate GPL code into a project? Have there been situations where permissive licensing compromised a project? I realize many don't feel it's relevant but it's striking how virtually all current frameworks are not GPL. I'm sure this is not convincing either: http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-license-for-a-web-framework-ex-Cake-Rails-Django-GPL-BSD-MIT-other-Why
I fear that any version of GPL will continue to scare off potential users. It's a very big decision to invest in a framework which makes flexibility very important.
