In order to make it simple I would prefer to have a single license
rather than dual-license.

EFLv2 is perhaps equal to BSD, but I find the MIT license easier
to understand. It looks more like EFLv2 with that respect. The shorter
the better.

In the TeamEiffel blog people tend to prefer the MIT license.

Do we have to care about incompatibilities? If the 5 or so users
of Gobo are happy with the MIT license then why bother? And what
are these incompatibilites BTW? I'm not sure they are that
significant for us to have to bother about them.
