The obvious result of this vote is that my previous conclusion was wrong: there is clearly widespread support in the community for a copyleft-style license. With 2 out of 3 contributors in favor of the switch, and less than 15% opposed to it, it's clear that we are going to proceed with the change.
As a curiosity, what % of the voters are affiliated with codeweavers? I realize that they are a significant contributer, but as you are using the word "community", it's fair to ask a) how big that number is in total b) if there are large components in that number, they should be at least quantified.
Do you believe affiliation should matter? If 66% of all contributors to the public Wine tree voted in favor of the LGPL because 60% of all contributors to the public Wine tree are on the Codeweavers payroll, does that invalidate the conclusion that the community as a whole is in favor of the LGPL?
