OK. I thought the BSD license would restrict us there (I'm weary of 
assuming anything in terms of licensing), but if you say it doesn't then 
problem solved.

I'm also fine with keeping the current LGPLv2 license as is (despite my 
preferences or even if dynamic linking/other project licensing is a 
question mark, as I consider that freedoms that (L)GPLv3 attempts to 
preserve are far more important than the constraints it may incur - but 
that's a debate for another time).

Regards,

/Pete
