Licence change

Hi there,

let us change the licence to something more usable in enterprise environments.

GPL is to restrictive in terms of using OSS together with proprietary software.

http://www.gnu.de/documents/gpl.de.html

A lot of enterprise companies could not fulfill this.

Maybe LGPL? TinyMCE is using this licence too.

Just a thought: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License
Perhaps a bit to open...

MIT and all the other 'I dont care' licences are way to open.

I want to ensure that Alchemy will stay open and that no one can turn it into a proprietary product.

We took BDS New

Changed in the next_table branch and Part of the upcoming 2.0 release.

Best choice so far. Spree also uses this license. And the projects are very similar.
