Hi

Well, I might be totally wrong ^^ but that's why I ask. Let's say I
add the logo of my project (Spellchecker.lu) to the default
proofreader banner, shipped with OOo. Because of the LGPL, wouldn't I
have to release my logo under the LGPL as well? I'd like to keep all
the rights on my logo, so I think I won't be able to modify the
default proofreader banner. But as I said, I might be totally wrong,
I'm far from being a license expert. Maybe someone on the list is :-)

Regards,
Michel
