I do understand that some people find GNU GPL a "strict" license. But then, what should we say about proprietary EULAs of Microsoft? Isn't that strict, yet still people use those products. Looking at those ends, LGPL really is a liberal license. Whoever wanted to criticize it, please read it. One should always remember that if it were not for GNU and it's public licenses, FLOSS may not even exist.
--------------------- @ everyone in this thread Ok, can we conclude now. V1 is tri-license back as it was, V2 will be LGPLv3 only, for the time being. I did the change because I wanted to link V2 into V1, to have full backward compatibility. But, I gave it an additional though and there is a simple solution to link V1 into V2 and keep the whole package backward compatible (including ABI). Once V2 is finished, if you like it, put it in LibreOffice. If you don't like it, don't do it. We are really trying hard to make a good product. I apologize for any inconveniences I created.
