Try reading section 2C of the LGPL and tell me how it's good for commercial companies. If LGPL is so clean, simple and nice, why does mozilla/openoffice/apache/perl not use it?
it would appear thats changing and I hope this isn't duplication ( according to mozills site this re-licensing began 9/2001) =============
They still don't use it *exclusively*. They are doing this to reconcile the problems created by the *GPL covered components. Notice the last sentence of the first paragraph: "in particular identified Mozilla-related license issues that could arise with developers using the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) for their own code." (whatever that means in the mozilla context).
