It's not about being "open-minded" here. Companies use EFL commercially
because they can do their job with those libs, then they contribute back to
the project. Like Apple and the BSD stuff it's using. And, as one of the
arguments to move TO BSD years ago was that open source code CAN be stolen
no matter what the license is.. well, it's still true.

Exactly. If every other library and app in the project's official source
tree, a big or a small one,  is BSD-licensed, well, let's just keep the
consistency. I really don't see a reason to move to LGPL.
I know that as Im not a dev my opinion means nothing, but thats my two
cents.
