Does it nessararily follow that you wish to accept any means to achieve this? Including, say, to be really extreme: "Nuke the middle east, then it will be peace there" and after enough nukes it probably WILL be peace, so it would be entire in line with peace on earth. Right?
Patrik, if you think licensing software under the LGPL is equivalent to nuking the middle east out of existence, you need to take a _deep_ breath, drink some cold water, and stay away from those pills.
Since we're here, this is the type of attitude that really destroys the credibility of much of your arguments. I mean, exagerations of the form: 'LGPL gives you nothing, it's a pile of crap' despite the enormous effort put in it by various lawyers and law professors from reputable universities, will not buy you many friends. Do you really think that the entire law establishment in the US has all gone mad and can't see the 'Gapping Hole' in the LGPL, and you were the chosen one to see it?
