No, I'm not. To start with, the LGPL only applies to libraries. The license I am proposing applies to any code (and in fact when I wrote it I wasn't thinking in terms of applying it to libraries). Somewhat related to that is the difference that this license does not prohibit the closed-sourcing of derivative works; where LGPL permits the existance of closed-source works which use a library, my license would permit the existance of closed-source improvements upon said library.
