As I understand it, this wouldn't be needed - it is not necessary to make a separate release. Any code under the LGPL can always be used under the GPL by anyone, there are clauses in the LGPL which explicitly allow this. I'm assuming we are talking about version 3 of the GPL here, or version 2 with the "any later version" permission. > Specifically, could he continue to update and release his own > routine modifications under only the LGPL? Yes, I wouldn't see that being a problem. -- Brian Gough
