Which OSI license is best for NetDirector?

I need help figuring out which license to move NetDirector to. Right now, it's licensed under a modified MPL with attribution clause. I think I want to keep attribution, which would seem to rule out GPL and limit me to CPAL, or the newly approved MS-PL or MS-RL. You can see these at http://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

But, I also observe that many commercial open source vendors have embraced GPL, both versions 2&3, notably SugarCRM, Zenoss, Red Hat...

Do I need attribution? Bear in mind that, unlike the above-mentioned vendors, I am not VC-backed. I think this makes attribution more important to me - but maybe not.

Thanks!

Update - November 12, 2007

I'm pretty much settled on moving everything that's out there today in the comunity (all the stuff that can be downloaded from SourceForge) to GPLv2. Maybe someday there will be "Enterprise" editions of NetDirector that will have some other license, but I think GPLv2 is the ay to go.

thanks to everyone who chimed in with thoughts - I appreciate it!

Daily Affirmation

Remember that skit from SNL, "Daily Affirmation with John Handy" or something like that? I think the comedian is dead now. Well, I need a daily affirmation today. My wife is big into dreams - she even has a book about interpreting dreams.

This morning, she says to me "want to hear about my dream"? I say "sure" (that's the only right answer, of course...)

"I dreamt I was Barrack Obama's girlfriend..."

Feel free to interpret in comments below, but take it easy on me, ok?

OUI

It's been sort of a slow start for the season for Barca. They just didn't play well at all in their first couple outings, and then Ronaldinho got hurt. But in last week's game against Zaragoza, which is a great side, Messi was fantastico. So was my personal favorite, Iniesta. But poor Henry, despite having like 4 really good chances, the Zaragoza keeper was always placed rigt to make the save.

In this week's game against Levante (which I haven't seen yet, but got the news on) Henry scored a hat-trick. One word: Oui!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hybrid!

My sister is a smart cookie, for a Republican ;)

When she says stuff, I listen because she's thought it through, and is usually right. So, when she mentioned that she didn't think the economics of hybrid cars were going to make sense en masse for a long time, it got me thinking.

Being the geek I am, I decided to crunch some numbers to make up my own mind. You'll find it here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pKdnOssmUJpyP2ehw9NtbUw

Turns out, my dear sis was right and wrong. According to my analysis, gas would need to cost north of $10 per gallon to justify the price premium for a hybrid. But, the Fed's did something smart (in my view) and provide a tax credit to buyers of hybrid cars. With the credit factored in, with gas at anything above $2.80, you make out better with a hybrid. And, drivers of hybrids of course derive the all-important psychic benefits.

Quote of the day - 8/6/2007

"Servers are computers that process online transactions, host Web sites and run companies."
San Jose Mercury News

I and everyone else in the IT/computer/software business knows what this author means when they say that servers "run companies," but we're not the people who need to have explained to them what a server is. For the readers of this newspaper, if you don't know what a server is, don't go by this half-hearted joke of a definition. Rather, refer to Wikipedia
