I'm not sure why now, after digging through your code, but I seemed to think it was GPL which would obviously mire things quite a bit for any hope of libevent inclusion or bundling. 2-clause BSD and MIT are virtually the same thing. That's weird and annoying that the ry author would add such a similar license as its just more crap for the license file (and he doesn't have the authority to dump BSD if it's a direct copy, just add more restrictions). > I asked him about the possibility of a license change but didn't seem > interested. Ref. above, I don't see any legal or social problem with MIT licensed code in libevent.

This sounds particularly interesting.
