Ok, let's stop here. It's not about what you want. It's about what we all
want.
I, and a lot of people in our community do NOT want our CORE base of
libraries to be licensed with different licenses. I don't care about
"third-party" (or non-core) things like Etk or Evolve or Edje_Editor or some
theme/module or Ewl, etc, etc. I personally made the compromise to relicense
my contribution (of about 80 icons) to Evolve because I respect Hisham and
his choice. And I'm not against LGPL or any other license, but we MUST keep
your CORE code base consistent. As you all already saw it's nearly
impossible to move our code base to another license, so just simply KEEP IT
BSD!
Imagine our "License" page on our website: "Well, some of our core libraries
(evas, ecore...) are licensed under the BSD license, but some others are
LGPL'd". This will only frustrate and confuse newcomers.
Nobody cares if BSD is comfortable for your or anyone else's company, this
is our current license and raster's 10 years arguments on GPL -> BSD are
still valid and good. Plus, again, we just can't relicense those libraries,
you know the reasons.
You guys are just doing mistakes and all this is a huge bullshit that
frustrates both developers and users. See, Dan already left... A man with a
huge contribution to the whole project. You want to make someone else leave?

I think a lot of people will support me here.
