>From what I understand of GPL you can do whatever you want but you must
distribute the source code and give your users the rights to change or
distribute the source to their hearts content. Obviously this is not
desirable for most commercial companies.
LGPL is more compatible with the requirements of a company that wants to
keep the source to themselves. LGPL lets you use free libraries without
distributing your source code. If you modify the original LGPL'd code
however you have to distribute your changes.

Justin,
I don't want this to spark a long thread, but I would like some
clarification. Can I, without contacting anyone, use WebMacro as part
of a corporate web site, keeping all the source to the site's content
private -- and do I retain the option to sell the source to the content
later under whatever license I like?
Here's hoping this stays on topic.
