I feel rather reluctant to enter this thread, but I feel I should point
out one thing. The people that don't like the LGPL for cairo probably
won't like the license for everything in the Anti-Grain Geometry
Project. While Maxim provides his code under a very liberal license, agg
also includes Alan Murta's General Polygon Clipper which has the
following license term:

           You may not use this software, in whole or in part, in support
           of any commercial product without the express consent of the
           author.
