What do I gain by not using gpl? Commercial use and forking under a license
of your choice. The only thing that concerns me using bsd is how to accept
contributions that im not merging in safely. Is zend framework concern with
bsd and their use of a contrib agreement ?
My employer asked me to make modifications to mw for their use, i chose
instead to spend my free time so i can share them with others. I cant use
gpl even if i wanted to.

elaborate on that?
Given that I wasn't using the GPL, I was concerned that anyone
committing against my code would do so under "all rights reserved" and
would effectively be forking my code from the point of their revision.
I wanted to make sure the code stayed under my BSD-2-Clause license.
I'm pretty confused by this whole situation.
IANAL, but if you add restrictions such that you require modifications
to be under the BSD-2-Clause license, then it seems like you have
re-invented dual-licensing with the GPL license without any real
benefit. If that is the case, I am not in favor of adding
yet-another-licensing-scheme to our repository. But I could be swayed,
given the right argument.
What is the pragmatic benefit of your proposed license?
Mark.
