Dave, It seems like you're limiting refactoring to code re-use via extraction to libraries. No, I'm using the same definition that Mat refers to: Refactoring is a disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external

Sven, Just to clarify for others reading along, my question is not about linking GPL and LGPL. It is about cut-and-pasting code from GPL into LGPL during refactoring. With the benefit of hindsight years later, it seems a maintainer doing code clean-up should find application code that would
