Well, the resulting license is different. Indeed it will be LGPL. But say
you take Evas and remove eina dep, you could use that as BSD.

I'd personally prefer to have everything as LGPL, but to change each
piece/file requires copyright holder approval.

As for LGPL, your understanding is wrong. It's not LGPL fault, it's BSD
that allows that. LGPL just requires, if BSD didn't allow they would
conflict.

The subject of freedom is different. LGPL does take away your freedom to
guarantee source code freedom. People x Code.
