This is, in fact, why Linus didn't use the LGPL for sparse; he didn't want to permit people to make changes to it that users of sparse in proprietary applications wouldn't be allowed to use.

LGPL - A change on the way (Groklaw) Posted Jul 14, 2006 22:01 UTC (Fri) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] Was LGPL even around when Linus made his licensing change from his original 'no commercial use, return all changes' style license (I think that was how it was) to GPL?
LGPL - A change on the way (Groklaw) Posted Jul 14, 2006 22:29 UTC (Fri) by iabervon (subscriber, #722) [Link] I don't think so, but I was referring to the license on sparse (the static checking/C parsing program), not Linux. Linux wouldn't really make sense under the LGPL, anyway; I don't think there's any non-GPL code that kernel code could logically be loaded into.
