The extensions and any libraries that get linked into compiled code 
through mmc should definitely be under the LGPL. The language files 
themselves should probably stay under the GPL.

I've avoided all the license files for some time however and I really 
don't know what the standards are for documenting which components are 
under what license.

Anyone want to explain to me which files I need to change to make this 
the case ... or even better, send me a patch file ?

Note that currently there are probably licensing problems distributing 
mmc compiled modules that use codex.db.mysql commercially since MySQL 
AB has license restrictions on the mysql db drivers.
