The license question

We will limit our users if we do it in LGPL, the most important one
being Qt. They don't do dependencies on LGPL libraries, it seems.

The only choice would be a BSD- or MIT-like license, if we are thinking
of future expansion, which would require us to code lots of stuff from
scratch.

I would say I would go for the LGPL, to be able to use already existing
code, specially since we may not be able to win the Qt guys anyway,
since they already have a locale system in place. Doing it in LGPL would
make it somehow a refactoring project, while doing it in BSD/MIT would
be a huge rewriting of everything from scratch.

Question from Sun guys: You don't have objections with the license, do
you?
