I completely agree with you. Just one note: the CORE* libraries and the main product (e17 itself) should be licensed under one license. Currently it's BSD, so when developing a new core lib (in this case it's Eina) it should be also BSD. If someone wants to develop some app or some lib that is not of the core EFL - he/she should feel free to license it whatever he/she likes. There are many arguments to support this and they all are already written by others. It's now clear that there can't be a smooth move to another license - there are (too many, active, respected, with big contributions to the project) developers who want to keep their code BSD-licensed. There was too much buzz and discussion on this topic, it is now clear that every core library you guys create from now on should be BSD-licensed. So carry on, write the damn thing and let's rock on :-)
*By mine (and hopefully others) definition the core libs are those who E17 and Ewl/Etk depend (not optionally) on.
