These licensing terms (GPL+LGPL) were chosen by me and our company to make available our work and the sources of the nxlog community edition for free to everybody who wishes to use it. We could have picked any other license, more restrictive or more liberate. We could have released it in binary form only (=freeware). Basically what you are saying is that if you release software under the GPL/LGPL, then you must provide free support to ensure that the software builds under all circumstances on all platforms with all versions of its dependencies. Think about this once more. On the other hand, will you contribute the modifications back that you are trying to do? I bet you won't. Sadly this is what the GPL/LGPL is actually about.
