Just to make clear. I prefer the MIT license in the case of the Java
version, as it is meant to be used in many different apps (it is a
library). I the python case, it is just a QGIS plugin, so I do not see
much difference and i am happy with GPL as well. I think is a better
idea, so as to have a homogeneous licensing across QGIS code.
