I hardly ever talk on these lists anymore, but since someone is complaining about the GPL... I'm happy with the GPL. I see no significant reason to change it. If someone wants a special license for the source, maybe you can enter into an agreement with them specifically to license the current snapshot of the source to them and them alone for certain stated purposes. (The level of restriction would depend on the license asked for.)

Just be careful.

only if _all_ authors put their authorsihip togheter then an alternate release with a different license is possible. the best what was done in past from
such a situation in other projects was a call for
objections and only if no one objected they did
the step of going the risk for an alternate license.
