Alright, this has been a quick discussion. I certainly don't object to using 
the LGPL, so if everyone else is in favour of that license, I think we 
should just switch to LGPL completely. I'll do that for the next release, 
then.

Regarding the utils, I think that those programs have been written by 
Alastair, LI Daobing, and myself. Therefore, it's no problem for us (as 
copyright holders) to just relicense them under LGPL.

Thanks everyone for this really quick feedback.

Regards,
Tobias
