Hi Everybody,

I just encountered another instance where the GPL is hindering PicoGUI's goal
of being a GUI platform for all devices.

The vast majority of the code in pgserver has it's copyright assigned to me.
As far as I can tell, these are the only portions of code that aren't
copyrighted by me:

 - The ps2mouse driver contains GPL'ed code from gpm
 - Several drivers contain GPL'ed code from Microwindows and SDL
 - The VNC driver uses libvncserver, a GPL'ed package
 - The theme code's crc32 algorithm is from Zlib, but is LGPL-compatible
 - Probably other drivers...

It should be fine to LGPLize all the code I own the copyright to, and all the
other code with an LGPL-compatible license. As far as I can tell, it shouldn't
impact the usability of PicoGUI in average embedded platforms.

Does this sound reasonable?
