It doesn't have to appear at the program start, and the MIT=20
license gives explicit permission to sublicense its code. The=20
copyright doesn't have to be at the top of the file, but it must=20
remain on the code. This is perfectly LGPL compatible. In fact,=20
the LGPL requires it, because it's the entire basis of the=20
'copyleft' system.

Yes, it's very long and significantly more restrictive than MIT.=20
I don't see the need to add the restrictions of the LGPL, nor=20
the verbosity or proselatizing that it contains throughout. That=20
being said, there's nothing stopping you from sublicensing it=20
with the LGPL.

In the wmii tarball, it's called wmiir.c. I should setup nightly=20
tarballs, but the plain libixp distibution comes from hg.
