That doesn't follow. "is not covered by the LGPL" is true for any non-LGPL terms, and doesn't imply "is less restrictive than the LGPL". Even the default of "all rights reserved" meets that "non-LGPL" definition. I agree that without explicit permission to modify and redistribute under the same license terms, this work will not be DFSG-free. -- \ "I bought a self learning record to learn Spanish.
