GPL -> LGPL is almost always a bad moveGPL -> LGPL is almost always a bad movePosted Feb 20, 2012 21:24 UTC (Mon) by coriordan (guest, #7544)In reply to: GPL -> LGPL is almost always a bad move by endecotp Parent article: VLC 2.0 released
There are indeed some circumstances where LGPL is better, but they're rare. It'd be overly optimistic to presume that each case is one of the rare cases, and there's nothing on the announcement page to support the idea that this change is for the benefit of free software users.
In general, a change from GPL to LGPL is a loss, not something to celebrate.
