Suggest more liberal license #17

agentuino is currently released under GPL V2 which prohibits its use within 
some forms of licensed software, e.g. proprietary software, i.e. someone is 
unable to produce a software that reuses part or all of agentuino unless they 
make the entirety of their software free and open. This may limit adoption of 
agentuino. GPL recommend / suggest that libraries (like agentuino) be released 
under LGPL which permits the library to be linked from a proprietary software 
as long as the library source is available. Such licensing gives greater 
freedom to the user of the library without reducing the liberal licencing of 
the actual library.

May I request agentuino be released under a more liberal license such as LGPL?
