Yes, license does matter, although I’m not sure that even the GPL would preclude, say, integrating with a clean WSRP producer.

Nice post and yes, the commercial providers were very much in attendance at the Sakai conference in Baltimore last week. I usually don’t think much about open source licenses as we contribute everything back and have no plans to distribute proprietary distributes of open source software. But your post brings up the importance of licensing. I imagine that the vendor-friendly, BSD-style licenses that uPortal and Sakai use are much more appealing to a company like WebCT than Moodle’s GPL.
