This is one of those threads that everyone enjoys arguing in but never
goes anywhere. Might I suggest that if this matters to your business
you consult legal advice, otherwise check what products you depend on
and use the least permissive licence they have is a good rule of
thumb. People are /usually/ happy to settle for GPL, so it's a nice
default.
If somebody has a problem with it they'll tell you, but if you've
actually read the licences and FAQs, etc that will likely never
happen. This kind of conversation is better suited to a bar at
conference than a mailing list.
