John--
Have you read the Open Channel license? It is a very simple Open Source
license which reserves rather minimal commercialization rights. In that,
it is not really much different from the BSD license: the BSD "no
endorsement" clause effectively means that you need to negotiate with the
licensor before you can sell the software as a product. Negotiation might
be as simple as an exchange of emails or a phone call. Some other licenses
(like the one for eclipse) do specify that the licensee is free to sell the
product, but that is another matter.
