Actually the real problem is code movement. We merged EFL so that we can easily shift things around between the libraries and consolidate code to the overall benefit of the entire set of libraries. In the case where someone might want to move code they did not write from a BSD part to a LGPL part, or the other way around, they might need permission from the original author to re-licence that bit of code. Things could get messy. I think I mentioned that in the last debate. Wrapping "the following three lines of code are XXX licensed, unlike the rest of this source file" comments around bits of code is a bit silly. Basically, there is a legal barrier to the code mobility we desire. Better get a lawyer son, better get a real good one. B-) I don't think anyone will fall for the argument that since BSD is "compatible" with LGPL, being essentially a subset of the restrictions, that code, or code snippets, can automatically be demoted from one to the other. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
