I think this kind of "GPL + exception" is a reasonable choice if someone thinks he needs some kind of enforcement about changes made to their original source code. It's for sure better than LGPL since that (last time I looked into it) would require you to give away the object code (FSF's reasoning: so the end-user could re-link it against a newer version of the LGPL'ed library). Giving away the object code for an AVR application is unfeasable for most users. After all, the controller vendors equipped their chips with lock bits so nobody could read the firmware back... giving away the object code would completely defeat that. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
