The documents seem reasonable, except that I have one concern over the
(broad) scope. What if a contributor is OK with LGPL for some FEniCS
components, but doesn't see the purpose (or is not happy with, for
whatever reason) for other components.

I understand the rationale behind LGPL for core components (DOFIN, FFC
etc.) but not, for e.g., FEniCS Apps.
