Hello all,
After a very long investigation resulting in a better understanding of licensing issues, I think dual-licensing logback under EPL 1.0 and LGPL 2.1 would help with the project's adoption.
Licensees can then choose either the terms of the EPL or the terms of the LGPL when they use logback. The EPL license will placate organizations which refuse the restrictions imposed by the LGPL whereas the LGPL license ensures continuity in licensing and also keeps the door open for licensees already bound by the terms of (L)GPL.
