Hi Kim

actually it is possible to mix GPL and LGPL ( see example ffmpeg -
they even have two licenses in one file -'C" code is LGPL and mmx code
is GPL ) without any violation of GPL and LGPL wordings.

But OK I see the point. As with FFTW it is not possible ( so far ) use
your library.

Still later it is possible to keep your library with LGPL and still
use fftw for those who will use your library in free GPL projects.

Sergey
