* Move Evolution licensing to LGPL v2 and LGPL v3 to let us re-use the code more easily around the platform. This also moves us closer to Thunderbird's MPL/LGPL model. I am told that you guys have found some of my code in Evolution that is gpl2 (only) and that you would like to have it re-licensed to dual lgpl2 (only) and lgpl3 (only). We are talking about code that arrived in Evolution via GAL, notably code in e-colors.c, e-table-col.c, and some table tests. There might very well be more. You are welcome to use that code and, in fact, any of my code that used to be in GAL under the dual lgpl2/lgpl3 license.
