I agree - you've contributed a lot - you have a 'big vote' and if
you want LGPL to stay then I fully support that view.

If it is truly possible (albeit at some low level of difficulty) for
console programmers to adhere to LGPL and use PLIB then I'm personally
against changing the license.

If it's *utterly* impossible for PLIB to be used on consoles - then
bearing in mind that LGPL doesn't make a whole lot of sense to the
end user of the application - *THEN* I might be prepared to yield
and go with Xfree licensing.

If I'm to believe Dave then it's not impossible to live with LGPL
in that setting - so as far as I'm concerned, it's LGPL unless
proven otherwise.
