I have zero interest (nor rights to relicense) the code in Unicorn to a BSD license. For the record, I'm personally a huge fan and proponent of the GPL, but again I can't relicense existing code without the permission of everybody that ever contributed to Mongrel/Unicorn, either. While I am more than aware there are several reasons people aren't comfortable with Unicorn, but the GPL should NOT be one of those reasons. Thanks for reading.
