I've had some bad experience with changing another project
of mine from GPL to MIT, because I believed people telling
me they would not be allowed to contribute to the project if
it stayed under GPL, which is kind of perverting the idea of
the GPL, and I'm not willing to repeat this.

Anybody who wants to use (and modify) svglib will be able to
do so, even after downloading it as an egg. For other, add-
itional, licenses you'll need to convince me with good argu-
ments.
