Then, I actually don't see _any_ point in proposing a library for GNOME. Proposing a library to me means that you have something being used by many components and not only desktop-ones. In the past we've been trying hard to keep all our components available for anyone, not just GPL-users; we shouldn't drop that just to get empathy into the desktop.
