As another long-term enlightenment user (since at least 2000) who has never entered these discussions before I'd like to add by tuppence worth too. Saying that you wish to increase the community while at the same time creating a serious rift which may cause people, devs or users, to be put off or leave is nonsensical. There is an established policy regarding licensing and it seems to a relative outsider to be both foolish and frankly rude to insist that your way is best when flying in the face of that policy when there is no concensus for change.
Regards to all for what is still my preferred interface after many years. Thanks.
