hmmmm...

Looks like the basic answer is here:

"Laszlo Systems chose the CPL because it is a simple, clear and
well-written license that allows customers great flexibility in
building on the OpenLaszlo platform, such as permitting proprietary
applications written using OpenLaszlo to remain proprietary, but
ensures that any contributions to the OpenLaszlo platform itself remain
open source and are "given back" to the open source community."

in other words, they wanted more options to making 
proprietary software...

so far, while not the GPL, it seems fine to me.

anyone else has a take on this?
