Most of EFL is BSD licensed. Some parts are LGPL though. I think there is a mix of LGPL 2.1 and 3. > 2. This game will probably not use Elementary.

It was overkill for what I needed. I'm not doing Android or iOS though, but built a custom linux from scratch. The evil library is specifically for porting EFL to Windows. > 4.
