Nope, absolutely not, you're right, in fact I have an email from Peter 
that he changed the license of the current biococoa to LGPL already, 
not sure if that's reflected in the current license file already, but 
at the time Peter was fine with it. Just wanted to inform and ask 
everyone though...

Hmm, I don't get it, but that's probably me hallucinating after coding 
to long... ;-)
Cheers,
