I'm inclined to think that LGPL might be akin to Apache, but with one
additional clause, one dealing with patents. There seems to be a trend
towards including a clause in licenses that says, in effect:
"Your rights to use of software covered by this license is
terminated the moment you file a lawsuit over patent rights which apply to
software you have developed and patented..."
I'm not sure that's what the LGPL patent clause says, but clauses like that
are starting to appear in OSI approved licenses.
