Like LGPL?  That's different of course.

But what other copyleft licenses are there?



There's about 10 on this page:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html


But the biggest one in use that you might not have considered is the Apple Public Source License. In some ways it's even more restrictive than the GPL in that "externally deploy" is poorly defined. For example, if you use your Mac to serve web pages and you have happened to modify some APSL licensed code so your server serves pages a bit faster you're required to make those modifications available because you've "externally deployed" them. Think they tried to fix this in version 2.0 of the license but it's still not clear.
