Sincerely I'm not en expert about licensing, but I remember very clearly 
at least two other loooong thread on this list about this subject...
So what about putting something on typo3.org?
Perhaps it could be only a few-step thing:
- someone ask to kasper his idea about this (eg. Kasper could say 
something like "I want all GPL" or "ok for GPL but also these other 
licenses"
- we (or someone, i don'y know) could write 5 rows about it. Send them 
to Kasper for approval.
- if approved, someone publish this on http://typo3.org/development/

A too-naive approach?

Cheers,
Matteo
