When I say lgpl I say it the sense, probably miss-used, that derivatives
of the sybol or foot print should also
be given out...

But here is an Idea.... think of it as barter.

For every 10 symbols or foot prints you take you need to return one new
one. And your continued access to the library is dependent upon your
peers not rejecting the quality of your submissions.

This is just a throw out an idea that doesn't even qualify as an opinion.
