Well that's quite close-minded. I don't agree to have different libraries for different libs within E (and I presume eina will take over from evas and ecore), but refusing to link to an LGPL library ... Well, if you want to make your life difficult, be my guest, but don't presume that everyone else does.

Take whatever you want from ewl and close it, it's your work, and you are certainly free to do so. Also, even LGPL can't force you to release your modifications, if the result is not public anyway (if you keep it in your basement, no one will care). Again, while it is bothersome that now we have to deal with multiple licenses, no one is forcing you to change to lgpl. > > dan > > > Also, there have been several emails about the need to keep the licensing > consistent within the project (from Kim, Luchezar, Andreas, etc). > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
