The LGPLv3 also includes the patents clause and the anti-DRM clause, which
both add additional restrictions, which the GPLv2 does not have.
On the other hand, all lilypond contributors -- by putting their code under
GPLv2only -- explicitly say that they do not agree to any additional
restrictions.
Oops - haven't you got that backwards? If they put it under v2 ONLY,
aren't they saying they don't agree to any additional FREEDOMS
Thus lilypond can't link to any (L)GPLv3 library, which would add additional
restrictions.
such as allowing it to be distributed under v3?
(Yes I know I'm being a pedant! But that's why I think demanding
contributors use v2 *only* is a bad idea. You're saying they can't grant
*more* *freedom* (if that's what they want).)
Cheers,
