And release under GPL if you can. Only if your library duplicates
a non-free library should you go LGPL. Since WebMacro does something
no other package does, the correct license is GPL.
I am a big supporter of the FSF approach, and one of those people
who think ESR's approach is a retreat.
If someone wants to use WebMacro outside the GPL--they can license
it from me like a commercial product, in effect paying for the
development of free software.
At any rate, now we really are way off topic.

It can however, be used freely and without restriction on any kind
of website--commercial, corporate, government, or otherwise.
This is why I objected so strongly when you posted that it cannot be
used commercially. It can; people are; and that's the way I want it.
