Interesting. I had no idea that Enlightenment was anything more than a
particularly spiffy window manager.
(
Not sure what to make of this though (from the site):
"Enlightenment is a window manager. Enlightenment is a desktop shell.
Enlightenment is the building blocks to create beautiful applications.
Enlightenment, or simply *e*, is a group of people trying to make a new
generation of software."
What is it, a GUI or a cult? And, "E"? Um...

There's also this list:

...but pretty much all of them are LGPL. (wxWidgets is some form of
"relaxed LGPL" though.)
