Here's my nomination:

GPL (not LGPL) for all of Piper, with 2 modifications and clarifications: (1)
A UI written to work via CORBA can be in any license (CORBA is not "linking"),
and (2) plugins that operate as "nodes" can be in any license (they are not
"linked" to from Piper).  ("Linking" is as defined in the GPL.)

My reason for choosing the GPL is that it will provide better "protection" for
the infrastructure created by Piper, as argued by Jarl a couple days ago.

Other nominations?

Cheers.
Jeff
