I didn't say that it did, what I ment was that they couldn't take it, 
fix it up and use THAT, the LGPL mandates that changes made to the core 
library much be published, but you can link to the LGPL source w/out 
tainting your project.

some argue that protections make it less free, which is why i offered up 
the LGPL, from what I understand it's compatible w/ all licenses in 
terms of using our stuff, but makes sure our project gets any benificial 
changes.

this way front-ends and any other libs someone makes can be licensed in 
any way they choose.
