When you're writing open source code you are writing it for the people, for the community at first. Then for yourself and for your company. Therefore those "our" (our community's) libraries. And although the developers make the decisions about how the code is going to work/be packaged/be relased/etc every user should have the right to express his opinion and help making the decisions. Consistency in the project's core code base is a must. Face it. If it's not, what kind of project it is?

Stop talking about dictators and dictating. Adolf Hitler was a dictator and we have no Hitlers around. The project itself and its community/user base are growing and I can see it. But, if you keep fooling around with these license shit that is doing nothing but frustrating people others may leave, yes. In my opinion, Eina is a good thing, but you guys should either keep it's license consistent with the licensing of the other core libraries or take it somewhere else and stop this insane bullshit. -- Luchezar P.
