Truthfully, I'm not an expert, so you may well be correct. danpb, you
know more about this - what's the correct answer?
3-clause BSD is more permissive than LGPLv2+, since there's no license
incompatibilty here. That said, I agree that any contributions to netcf
should be placed under the LGPLv2+, not BSD license. Mixing licenses
within a project just creates pain for everyone when refactoring code
across files.
