You said so yourself, the BSD licensed parts of EFL are now effectively
LGPL licensed.  That's not FUD, that's viral.

BSD does not say anything about restricting the right to copy in the
way LGPL does.  It's a copyright licence, as such, it reflects the
desires of the copyright owner and is a legal document.  A third party
is not allowed to further restrict those copyrights, they simply do
not have that right.  It's legal rights, not code, we don't get to
refactor things to our liking like that.  lol
