> CppCMS license is LGPLv3 - not too company friendly.

Actually LGPL is as 'free' as it gets with the GPL license family. If I wanted to be 'company unfriendly' I'd choose the AGPL.

But the thing is: Arguing about licenses is nonsense. The developer has an agenda and chooses the right license for it.

For me if I release open source I almost always license it under GPL3/AGPL because I don't want someone to take my code, stuff it into a closed system and make money of it. If I decide to contribute to the open source community I don't want leeches to profit from it.

If you want to use my code commercially: pay me.
