We (Uniwares Ltda) are in the process of opensourceing our SPF
implementation, targeted at Windows environments. Although it should be
easily portable (no windows specific api's), we didnt test under any
non-windows OS.
Our implementation is written from scratch in C++, developed and tested
under VS2003/2005 and fully compatible with RFC 4408. Still working on
supporting the test suite. It comes without the event sink, which might
be supplied later on.

Any suggestions which license to use? BSD? GPL? LGPL?

LGPL would be nice.  It would allow everyone, including closed-source 
products, to dynamically link to the library, which is probably important 
in the Windows world, but the library itself would still be required to 
remain open, i.e. no one could fork your project and then sell it as a 
closed-source library.  (Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but 
you never know...)

But I concur with Boyd that you'd better inform yourselves more about the 
various licenses and decide for yourselves.
