Actually, since Kim mentions he doesn’t want the responsibility of
maintaining kbordermatrix, I’d recommend against the LPPL in his case,
since it explicitly requires to name a maintainer. Simple licences that
do not have this requirement include the MIT licence (in the version by
the Open Source Initiative, https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT -- there
are somewhat different wordings), and the 2-clause and 3-clause BSD
licences (https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause and
https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause).
Best,
Arthur
