I don't think RT's license restricts licenses of client libraries
talking to the REST interface. License you pick for your lib may
restrict applications that are going to use it.

If you ever want your client to be packaged by Debian or Ubuntu, you should make sure the licence you pick is one of those they class as compliant:

If you pick one of the compliant licences, you're pretty open-source friendly in general.

Thanks for all your answers - I decided to release the Java library (RT-REST) under the Apache License, Version 2.0 and release the RT and JasperServer integration toolkit (RT-Jasper) under the AGPLv3 (because JasperServer is released under the AGPLv3).

Guess that should be OK.

Now on to writing the release announcement ;-)
