One thought that occurred to me since we last discussed this is to
relicense it LGPL.  That way it could be linked into proprietary code
without having to maintain a dual license and the copyright assignment
headaches that come with outside contributors.
Heh.  The lawyers suggested that too, but I talked them out of it.
The trouble with LGPL is that to satisfy its conditions you need to be
pretty careful about how you link things together.
Yeah, the LGPL is even more work for lawyers than the GPL.

You could try a BSD- or MIT-style license perhaps, those
are *really* easy to understand, even to lawyers :-)
