Reverted.

I guess everybody should be happy now. Life goes on. I won't touch 
version 1 code any more.

But not Apache, for example.

Can you explain how is this? LGPL library can be linked dynamically to 
any application with "incompatible" license (not sure if that was the 
wording).

With LibreOffice being one of the major downstream consumers of
hunspell, we are concerned about this - so_if_  you're pondering to
reduce the number of licenses (which at any rate should be agreed on
amicably between the project maintainers), why not pick the MPL
instead?
I will see at later stages if LGPLv3/MPLv2 is a good option, for V2.

Why not add hunspell2 (or junspell) as a new work in a new repository
at that higher level, move src/hunspell2 from hunspell to the new repo
and copy whatever shared stuff is needed. Restore the old license stuff
for the classic hunspell repository and work away on the successor in
the separate repo under the hunspell umbrella.
I will see later.
