I wasnt 100% sure when browsing through all the licenses recently, but i
also got the feeling that L-GPL is not 'free' enouh for being used with MCF.
Lets see what Steve can tell us now in reply, but i also agree that i
understood the license that way that non-GPL  software is not allowed to
distribute the L-GPL libraries with them, and this is inacceptable for MCF
IMHO, as we want MCF support be possible even in commercial software, even
using our libraries, and 'linking' to MCF download server or distributing
the sourcecode of the MCF libraries will not be an option for these
companies i guess.

Assuming you are right, we need a license of our own, or we use your
license, which is very very close to what i wanted MCF license to be like
( at least if you 'compress' 1st part a bit :-) ).
