We have evaluated our other projects and their OSI-certified licenses and feel comfortable with their license types. Pentaho has, and will continue to have a mix of OSI-certified open source licenses across its products and projects. Changing the Pentaho BI Platform to the GNU GPLv2 license allows us to further simplify open source licensing for our major independent modules to a combination of compatible open source licenses including CPL (Mondrian), GPL (Pentaho BI Platform, Weka), and LGPL (Pentaho Reporting and Pentaho Data Integration).
