I choose LGPL for the module since Gtk+ itself uses that license
and so does pygtk. By choosing the same licence we can review and 
even "steal" snippets without license worries.
Besides LGPL gives you about the same priviliges as GPL+Artistic
so I don't think it is a big thing to worry about.

For examples other non-module code the author can choose whatever
license he/she wants.
