Greetings,

There is a public domain style license called CC0 (Creative Common
Zero) that you might be interested in using for movitz related code.
It applies better to parts of the world that don't have a concept of
'public domain' & require jumping through several legal hoops to get a
similar effect, or even don't allow waiving of copyright.

If you choose CC0 for movitz stuff please, or explicitly reject it
please let me know.

Here are some links:
http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_FAQ
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero

I am making a new CC0 licensed termite
scheme/clojure/smalltalk/haskell/erlang style programming language
that I hope to make a CC0 licensed operating system with.

What's wrong with the current license?

if I'm understanding this license, you're basically waiving any sort of
copyright to use the code... The license itself doesn't protect the person
who uses the code from abusing it for patents and other craziness like that
(this is from a cursory look of the simplified explanation that was provided
in the above link)

I think Movitz is fine under the current license, IMHO
