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?

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.
