There are proprietary libraries in a lot of solutions too. The LGPL is under many distributed closed solutions that are sold for profit, so I think its WEEE bit of the kettle calling .. ya you get it. I don't want to turf war, but its more systemic than you probably think. In this case, its just the pry-bar used that the risk to blow up the entire community of developed software with open libraries.

Tread lightly maybe.
