Naive Grant - (hey I just moderated a post "troll" on slashdot for moaning about being moderated a troll you got off lightly ;)

RMS was keen to use the LGPL less, as a case in point the ImageMagick licence is GPL compatible, not LGPL.
I guess it depends very much what they were purchasing the software for, in most cases unless it is purchases specifically to sell the free software based components in a shrinkwrap manner, the licence probably matters very little as long as they can compile/modify/run the code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
