LGPL is mostly incompatible with REALbasic code/plugins since you can't replace the LGPL'd bits without access to the entire project - It almost works for Mach-O plugins since they do exist as libraries on your hard drive, and users could release a project with everything but the LGPL'd parts encrypted, but that's more trouble most people are willing to go through.

BSD or Zlib style licenses are two closed-source friendly licenses to consider. They're also short/plain English so they're easy to modify for your own needs, unlike the GPL'n'friends.

I will gladly reconsider the license... my initial reasons for choosing LGPL was not to force people to release their code... :) I will research this again and try to find something more flexible.

Argh no. Please no.
Please allow us to use it in shareware apps without forcing us to release our code.

Perhaps you could reconsider releasing it under GPL.
