A port pf CanFestival to eCos would be great, but the eCos maintainers would prefer to avoid LGPL in the eCos repository. I took a brief look at the CanFestival sources. Copyright appears to be held by three individuals at present. Perhaps you could ask them if they would accept an additional license. The eCos license would be ideal, but we can also accept BSD-licensed code from "certain trusted sources". If an additional license is not possible, please get back to us and we can think again.
