Note: the correct url above is <http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html>.

I didn't know the Apache Software Foundation was in open war with the
GPL. Well, too bad: it seems you chose the wrong license for your
software.

We could be able to provide a personal, non-transferable license for
projects whose lawyers insist to require it; however your license
seems to forbid this option too.

I'm afraid the chance to see psycopg released with a non-LGPL license
are quite low.
