AFAIK, Loic was one of the original developers of osgCal so I guess they did agree with Ruben on this - but that is only my speculation. I had some discussion about this with both Ruben and Loic when Loic announced that the Gna! version will be GPL-only but I have no idea what happened between them two. Anyhow - the relicensing wasn't my point. I was reacting to Vladimir's comment about his desire to control the changes to his code. That is not really possible - I can take the osgCal code and publish my own modifications under LGPL as, let's say, osgCal3 and he or Ruben couldn't really do anything about that. The license allows it. The same is true about OSG or any (L)GPL licensed code, BTW - you cannot prevent forks.
