I have alot of respect for the work you have done with Euphoria in the past

Everyone .. voice your opinions.
(I think the LGPL vs BSD and PD has been hashed to death though)
I have no problem with the BSD and public domain models for releasing software,
I don't even have problems with closed source / proprietry software.
I just beleive a LGPL license for Euphoria gives Euphoria the brightest possible
future.
