23 Apr 2008 8:53PM ET When we created OpenFAST we worked closely with the folks from Cohesive and followed their recommendation in adopting the Mozilla. If you use GPL variants you will restrict adoption to non-commercial uses. Mozilla is reasonably strong in terms of requiring contributions to be given back or made available in source form.
QuickFIX originally used a BSD type license as it was felt to be the most liberal in terms of usage - I assume the same license is in place.
It really all depends on your goals - if you want people to be able to include your projects and be relatively unencumbered in their usage, other than providing back enhancements, Mozilla is right for you.
If you want to share the code for educational purposes and don't want folks to be able to use it for commercial efforts - then GPL provides those restrictions.
