Isn’t the LGPL supposed to be relicensable as opposed to GPL’s share-alike?
Nope. The LGPL simply makes an exception for programs that link with it through an API (aka when an LGPL program is used as a library).
nope, here *GPL acts like cancer, once it touches something, it remains *GPL until the last bit of it is still there.
Cancer is a bad analogy. It’s more like antibodies against non-free bactetia :)
I have a completely different view of what free means. xGPL are restrictive and sticky.
Ok, maybe explain the restrictions that offend you so much?
