Thanks! Do you think you could expand your license from GPL to LPGL or Creative Commons 3.0? I am no expert in OSS licensing, but I am pretty sure that some potential users will fear that linking their ontology to your GPL-licensed stylesheet may make the ontology become GPL, which in turn may make commercial users of the ontology fear that creating instance data that is linked to the ontology also becomes GPL. Again, I am not an expert, and I am also sure that OSS terminology like "linking" and "derived works" are unclear when the software exchanged is an ontology and not typical programming code. But it would help a lot if users were on the safe side. So I would be very happy if you could consider changing from GPL to LPGL or CC 3.0.
