Torsten, please look at "Modified BSD". Sounds good in general.

Hi everybody,   Many prototypes are being developed currently for MPI-2.2 and MPI-3. Under what license will they be made available to the community? Certain types of licenses, like GPL, may not be suitable for commercial adoption of the prototype code. BSD-like licenses are normally acceptable. I think we should discuss this matter at the Forum this time. You comments and suggestions are welcome. I would support such a discussion and also propose a BSD-like license. Another interesting question: what license is MPI-2.1 under?
