Exactly my point.  It's not the GPL that you're biased against, but
that's how you have your license written.  As such, it will fail to
achieve your stated goals.  On the other hand, the EU Datagrid license
will.  I strongly suggest that you use their license, which I will be
sending to the board for approval in short order.
