Thought I'd add my interpretation, which of course doesn't mean anything, only how I believe it should be. My thoughts on the three common licenses are that if I want to let people do whatever they like, I take BSD. If I want it to be used only for OS projects, I take GPL. Those are the easy ones. For LGPL, I think it /should/ be that people can use it even for closed projects, but if they improve the functionality of the library it should be made available to the community. So, I'd want them to be able to compile FunkyTween.as with all its classes into their code, but I'd also want them to publish any modifications, improvements and extensions.
