I would second that and maybe add some of the following direction -- I would prefer that *all* low level library components come under the LGPL so that they can be used with other projects that one might not be able to open source. On the other hand, if someone fixes a bug or extends an LGPL library it should go back to the community at large. The high level interfaces cannot typically be incorporated into another project (unless that is a collection like the CNC Live CD). So, GPL on the top end I do not have a problem with, but a little more freedom underneath is sometimes nice.
