License Changes

As you may already know there was a huge discussion (with some aggression from time to time) about changing E17 and EFL’s license (BSD to LGPL). Now apperantly it came to an end, and the result is that Eina, Etk, Evolve and Edje_editor are under the terms of the LGPL license.

Currently the Eina library is in proto/, maning that it’s still a prototype but is supposed to be in our core foundation libraries (as it will become a dependency for Evas and maybe Ecore). If this happens EFL will be dual-licensed – BSD and  LGPL.

Only time will show if this is for good.
