Not trying to play devils advocate, but it goes both ways. 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.


What goes both ways? Everyone involved is fine with proprietary libraries being used.

No, I don't get it. The LGPL allows that and they're happy with it. Where are you seeing hypocrisy?
