Sorry, this is not an answer to your question, but another (slightly
OT) question that yours triggered.  I have an old C++ library of mine
(for computations with rings, fields and algebraic stuff).  Triggered
by the discussion "future of Ada" I am thinking to rewrite it in Ada
(ok, maybe symbolic computation is not very important in business
applications, but there is where my skills live).  I would like to
make the library available with an open-source licence, but not GPL
since I understand that the clause that any derivative work must be
GPLed (maybe I am not precise here, but please do not flame me ;-)
keeps professional away from GPLed library.

After such a long introduction my question finally arrives: can you
suggest any open-source licence which could be used in this case ?
(and maybe in other Ada libraries to be developed)

Thanks 16#3E8#

PS: no flame, please... :-)
