Francois describes the central issue well: the LGPL will provide a way for the vendors to trust each other.
Let those of us who understand this simply start releasing our Wine changes under the LGPL, regardless of what anyone else does. That should make it clear which way the main tree should go.
First of all what "those of us"? You mean "those of you"? Searching the mailing lists I see that you from time to time have provided various testing, suggestions or other information but I can see no patches.
Ask Jeremy White if he thinks I've been contributing to the cause lately; I bet he considers the stuff I've written lately to be helpful, even if it doesn't appear in the tree.
Secondly understand what?
Understand that the LGPL enables competitors to trust each other.
I can't address your and Roger's concerns about the LGPL effectively because we seem to have such different world views that communication is difficult. My apologies; I'm just not a good communicator sometimes.
