What is the problem with the LGPL? I used that for my components. It
allows inclusion into 3rd party programs without releasing source to
that 3rd party program. It does require that you distribute (or tell
how to get) the included library. If you make any changes to the
LGPL'ed library, you are also required to give the changes away.
So is there some reason I should switch?
