AFAIK this is the only DA with GPL license.
Both Zope and python have much freer licenses making GPL probably 
a poor choice if you "aims to replace the current ZPygresql DA".

What is the reason behind GPL'ing it ? 

If you you hope to make money selling commercial licences I doubt it will
work.
Many peaople are afraid of contaminating their work with smallish GPL products
and would rather use inferior but free products.
