We want to benefit from the modifications and support made by the
community. That is why it should be under one license only.

If not please highlight some differences...
Witch of these licenses gives developers the most freedom, and the most
protection.
Are all of them GPL compatible
Does any of these protect against someone taking the source and making
their own proprietary version, without recognizing the developers that
built it?
I suppose giving full freedom to my company, also gives it to others like
Microsoft?
