Next question: consistency with the platform The GNOME platform uses LGPL as the license of choice to provide ISVs with a powerful stack that anyone can use - even to build proprietary software. You say, you took code from gossip - which is GPL. How do you plan to mess with this? Introduce a GPL-only library into the platform? Get the code relicensed? I really think that this needs to be solved before we even add empathy as a blessed dependency.
