Re: [paho-dev] Incorporating MQTT Lua client library into Eclipse Paho / Koneki ?

Currently, the MQTT Lua client is licensed as AGPLv3. I would like to
continue to offer that license ... so, that my code can be used in other
GPL licensed applications / libraries (given that the EPL and GPL are
not compatible).
I've read the EPL and it's FAQ ... and I'm willing to dual-license the
code as both AGPLv3 and EPL 1.0. As soon as you like.

Which BSD license (original, new / modified, simplified / FreeBSD) ?
I have a little dis-comfortable with the very permissive BSD license ...
since I have a preference for copy-left (as a default). I understand
and appreciate the advantages of a permissive open-source license. If
there is a case that requires those advantages ... and they out-weight
the loss of copy-left protection, then that could be considered.
Under what circumstances would you anticipate that a BSD license is
required for code under the Paho / Koneki umbrella ?
