Hi,

   currently I'm writing a utility which I would like to be included in 
Lazarus and / or FPC ( if it accepted of course ).

   Usually I license my open source software under MIT license ( see PS 
). After reading some forum threads regarding licenses I am a little 
lost . So I ask, what licenses are accepted by the Lazarus project ?

   MIT ? GPL v2 ? GPL v3 ?

regards,

PS: This MIT license is what I usually use :

   Inside units :

   Licensed under the MIT License (MIT).
   See licence file in root directory.

   ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM,
   OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR
   OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

   And in the project root a license file :
