It looks like the Tango devs are pretty much settled on BSD-only with some hack to get around the binary attribution thing: http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/ticket/1701
The problem with the hack is everyone trying to use the library professionally will (if one is lucky) ask about the binary attribution thing, and one would have to convince them that the hack takes care of it. This puts a never ending burden on the team.
If one is unlucky, they'll just avoid the library because of that license, and you'll never hear from them about the lost opportunity.
Those options are bad and worse, hence changing the license is a much more attractive proposition going forward.
