Originally, GroboUtils was released under the LGPL. However, due to hard-to-read language included in the LGPL, and many people's concerns over the possible viral nature of the LGPL (and the Free Software Foundation's comments that covering Java code under the LGPL is the same as putting it under the GPL), the author moved the license over to the MIT license on February 10, 2003.
