Well, I don't know about "more open", but I find the PostgreSQL BSD-
derived license easier to understand.
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ#What_is_the_license_of_PostgreSQL.3F
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.txt
And I suspect that some of these requirements of LGPL might make it
unlikely to be considered as something that can be shipped with
PostgreSQL.  (Yeah, I'm looking at *you*, section 4.)
