Change the License of the C++ parser

Hi guys!

I'm considering to change the license of my C++ Parser. The first version of 
my parser was released under GPL, then at some point I changed it to LGPL to 
be able to use it in other projects (e.g. umbrello, and a couple of 
commercial applications). The problem is LGPL is not good enough for my 
goal :( I mean I really want to push the parser and create a small community 
that use it and help me to extend it. The problem with LGPL is the static 
linking. I don't want to create problems to the company using it, so I want 
to change the license for LGPL to BSD (or BSD like license). I'm sure it'll 
be easy for companies and other projects to contribute it.

I would like to know what you guys think about it... and what is (for you) the 
best license for the C++ engine (the parser, the preprocessor and the type 
checker)?

ciao robe
