I'll vote +1 on this, but I'd really like to understand the GPL mode a bit better. I'm unclear on how that will work, and what it will mean for distribution.

Yea.

I agree that this will benefit us more than it could potentially harm us.  As for the particular license, the IPython license seems fine to me, though maybe we should follow the exact layout of the modified 3-clause BSD. Doesn't really matter.

Hi all,

as someone who has crossed over to the dark side (i.e. working for the
man), I would say that a more permissive license is a good thing. In
my short time in my new job we have already had discussions about
whether or not we can use certain OS software from a legal standpoint.
I don't think anyone wants to take OS work and sneakily use it or
steal it, but we do want to create proprietary extensions and
enhancements without fear of being forced to release our work.

I think that a switch is a good thing.
