Hi Jamie,

first of all, changing a license is a big task. While there is still
only my name as the copyright holder (I was the original author after
all) I don't feel like it is possible to change the license without the
permission of at least all the major contributors to the project.

Also, as Daniele explained, we're pretty happy with the LGPL3.

To better understand your request:

1) By "Apache project" do you mean an official project of the Apache
Foundation or just a project released under the Apache license?

2) Can you provide a detailed description of your use case? Is it a
library, an application? What is/are its license(s)? Which langguages it
uses? Right now I don't see an use case that really NEEDS a different
license for psycopg.
