Agreed.

yep, but the MPL is incompatible with the LGPL, if we must change
the license we want to choose at least a compatible license.

Our aim is to contribute to Gnome with a top notch RAD tool, and
we have _lots_ of code (>1MB of tar.gz) under the LGPL license.
I think we have a big problem here.
