I've heard that the OCaml crowd uses a modified LGPL with a static linking exception. Unfortunately I've also heard that their addition to LGPL hasn't gotten much review by lawyers, I'd much rather use something that feels less ad hoc, if you get what I mean.
It's not just O'Caml that adds a "static-linking exception" clause to the LGPL. Examples of other projects using a similar exception include wxWidgets http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/newlicen.htm FLTK http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L364+I0+TFAQ+M10+P1+Q and in the Haskell world: wxHaskell http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/License HaXml http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/HaXml/COPYRIGHT Regards, Malcolm
