Yes, I think that GPL discourages some kinds of use (in particular, commercial use) more than LGPL. The reason for this is the "viral" problem just discussed - if you link to it, your code has to be GPL as well. So if you want maximum uptake - LGPL. Or you could go whole hog and just release as Public Domain - which means anyone can do anything with it. -- Martin Davis Senior Technical Architect Refractions Research, Inc.
