I hate to reiterate over whats already been said, but just in case you've
forgotten, here you go:

I won't link against it because it's an internal E  library that isn't
BSD. The rest of the stack is BSD and anything from the E project (at
least core stuff) could be taken by a company and worked on
internally. Suddenly there are pieces which require separate licensing
and contribution requirements. Feels wrong.

No, it doesn't. Those aren't EFL projects. We have them marked as a
dependency and I don't code for them. I may submit bugs and such but
they aren't a big part of my work.

I want to be able to take my work at some point and make modifications
that aren't open if it comes to that. Why should I have to give up my
ability to take my code and do what I want with it? (And, I know I can
just re-license my code but in general it's been worked on my many,
many, people so I can't just take it that way)

Also, there have been several emails about the need to keep the licensing
consistent within the project (from Kim, Luchezar, Andreas, etc).
