Since you asked, my preference is GPL.

I prefer GPL over BSD strictly for the reason that if someone makes a modified version of Arc publicly available, then we all get to see (and maybe use) the modifications.



Don't do it. GPL means unnecessary issues with some of the enterprise companies trying to adopt your product.


What about having an open source friendly license as well as one for enterprises IT and software vendors ala MySql?


Mysql's license is all about trying to make money from Mysql. My guess is that pg would prefer wider adoption to trying to make money. At least, initially.


symlink: Like they would anyway. Ha ha bloody ha.

The license should be Affero GPL.
