Indeed, 

Hereby officially: all the code of Tinymail that is not under
libtinymail-camel/camel-lite/* is intended to be LGPL, not GPL.

Unless this is specified differently in future. If there are still any
copyright issues individuals can contact me, since I own the vast
majority of Tinymail's copyright.

Camel-lite itself is all LGPL too, but I don't own the copyright of it
(Novell does).  Camel-lite is a fork of Camel, which is being developed
by the Evolution team at Novell.

I will fix the mentioned copyright issues in Tinymail-trunk asap.
