The problem is that almost any licence term which tries to limit the 
obnoxious behaviour of other people has too many unpleasant side 
effects. GPL 2.0 is the best compromise I've found, so that is what I 
used for everything unless recently. To make my stuff licence compatible 
with FreeSwitch I recently relicenced most of my work as LGPL 2.1. This 
is having undesirable consequences, though. Its really a tough issue, 
and GPL 2.0 showed immense foresight in just accepting the non-existence 
of perfect solutions. GPL 3 seems to have forgotten the lesson somewhat.

Most of the time I just want to give up producing anything at all.
