My personal experience is that I have used it in many commercial projects without issue, and without individualised permissions being sought from anyone. Does your company have a policy on the use of Free / Open Source software; perhaps one which explicitly deals with the (L)GPL? All the best, Jonathan -- Jonathan Matthews https://jpluscplusm.com
