Well, I'm unable to understand the reasons behind that, be you are
entitled to your own opinion.

I'm a bit doubtful about this statement:
    "IMHO it is better that individuals make up their mind about
    choosing the GPL, rather than you imposing it. LGPL looks like a
    good option for your library to me."

Not picking the GPL because you want people to pick the GPL, is a bit
weird to me. If you refuse to make that choice (GPL instead of LGPL),
why these persons should do it at a later point? Why would it be wrong
for you to pick the GPL and good for them to pick the GPL?

As a matter of fact, I do not believe it is unfair to refuse to give
away your time, by licensing software under the LGPL or mBSD, but I
admit this is a very personal point of view.


I assume that you definitely prefer having all parts of your
project under the same savannah project, so I'll approve it that way.
