In this case, most of the code we care about would be under LGPL, so there
isn't that much of a difference between GPL and LGPL except that we allow
people to link code that we don't care much about to our library. In this
case, switching to LGPL won't do much besides limit the virality of the
license to just the library - or pretty much the largest part of the
project.

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
