Ok. I promise that this is my last post to the list today.
I took a quick look at the ecma README. Why did you choose the LGPL over the GPL for the js files? Makes sense to me that we should try not to expand the number of licenses we're using in inkscape; we already use public domain and GPL. Let's just pick GPL for the js files too.
Thoughts?
Well...
Because the LGPL imposes no limitations to any software that merely uses it as a library. In other words, we can have our own code be the GPL, LGPL, the Ishmal Wonder License (IWL ;-), the Navajo Flatbread License (NFL), whatever. I don't really care what Inkscape's license is, but it is nice for us to be able to decide on our own.

p.s.: I mentioned Navajo flatbread because it is yummy.
