On the subject of licenses, I would recommend going with the LGPL. Both gtk+ and gtkmm are under the LGPL. This allows businesses that wish to use these libraries, but don't want to open source their code, to use them without violating the license. I could see your touchscreen libraries becoming something businesses could use for kiosks, but if you force them to open source their code, they may be less likely to use it.
