this was on purpose. The recent authors (cedric, me, tom...) decided they didn't like BSD as the ancient and the license was hurting us as nobody gave back. Then when we created Eina to unify data types in ecore and evas, we proposed to do it in LGPL and people accepted, raster was okay with that and so we did.
we couldn't change the license of the whole code to LGPL because of practical issues (we'd have to contact and get permission of all authors), then as the BSD licensed code is basically "casted" into LGPL automatically there is no problem in mixing them. You should consider the thing as LGPL. On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 1:28 PM, Andrew F <[email protected]> wrote: > Thomas, > Thanks for pointing that out.
