In my case the mix of 4-clause and 3-clause BSD in the existing license was sufficient incentive for me to plan to contribute code back. I do know about the different motivations and interpretations of freedom in the GNU and BSD camps. Thats fine. No need to discuss that. I got the impression that in "licensing - end it" Raster expressed the hope for BSD and LGPL to just live together in peace. Unfortunately in the specific case of static linking this seems to require the mentioned linking exception. >> Additionally I might mention that the BSD-style license of the EFL could >> mean that the EFL might technically be the only serious option for a >> free 3rd party GUI library on things like the iPhone.

I wish I didnt mention this particular example as it seems to generate mostly irrational hostility and distraction. Right now I really just care about static linking.

GnuTLS would be a good move for us. Leting people build GPL apps on top of our software and use a lighter lib (around 3MB for openssl and 1MB for Gnutls). I would add that GnuTLS offer a better experience in cross compiling thanks to the autotools (Yeah, I really said that :-)).
