Hey Howard!

My problem is with this part:

(quoting from the url you gave)
# "must share source of redistributed version" -- Does this license
forbid the recipient of the source code from modifying it and shipping
his modified version to a third party without giving them the source?

IMHO LGPL is a good license for an app server like jboss, but not a good
license for a framework, because working with a framework includes
changing parts of it, and I dont want to be forced to submit all my
changes back, and give all my customers the sourcecode of tapestry,
where most of them dont even know what tapestry is. If they knew they
would just code my app themselves, because working with tapestry is sooo
easy :))

Peace 
 chris

Personally, I hate the whole licensing issue, but I've 
yet to hear an actual complaint about LGPL.  I chose the 
license to maximise the distribution of Tapestry; I 
sincerely hope that some day, Tapestry will be bundled 
with major application servers like JBoss, WebLogic, etc.
