I personally would go for LGPL2+ in that case. It allows for more uses
of the libraries
themselves as well, which is really what we're after, as much usage of
the framework
as possible. I personally think it would be awesome if commercial
companies start to
use Gluon for their games, I personally would only think it awesome.
At least for the
first few companies. ;)

It would also allow third-parties to more freely develop plugins for
Gluon. While this
might not necessarily be a good thing, it does help building a larger
community around
the entire system.

So yeah, I'd go with LGPL2+, to allow a little more freedom in usage.
