well all I can say is you probably did not convey to them an acurate
representation of the situation. You solved the problem of whether other
libraries can link to jBoss but there still remains the problem of whether
jBoss can link to other non-GPL compatable libraries. As it stands an
unmodified LGPL can not - you choose to ignore this and link against a
variety of different libraries that are not GPL compatable.
Changing to LGPL is almost irrelevent as it does not solve any of the
issues that have been discussed on this list - again it just ignores them.
If you want to doo this and really think this solves the problem then more
power to you. Hope you don't ever have to go to court.
Cheers,
Pete
