So where does this requirement to change our license come from ?
As far as I see we only need to comply to section 6, which requires
us as said above to allow new verions and reverse engineering of
our code to make it work (which is easy as we provide source).
We do ,but what about a pary creating a comecrial / closed source
version of mmbase?
They would only have to supply the code for the LGPL library if they distribute
it with their application. The rest of the application could be closed
completely, but the LGPL part can't be.
Isn't reverse engineering allowed anyway?
The "reverse engineering" clause is optional;

On the other hand, I can see that this would complicate the licensing,
and could cause confusion.
Yes, and I don't think this confusion is good for MMBase.
