OK I found a former thread where you conclude 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/tryton/gpl/tryton/85G3MbUUp_M/vw85C3RkVpAJ):

"If it is a derivative work then yes we want it to be under GPL.
If it is not a derivative work then do what you want."

This seem contradictory with what states openERP on the question 
(http://www.openerp.com/services/faq-onsite):

"The rule is that all OpenERP Modules need to be licensed under the same 
License used by the rest of the system they are based on.

If you make your own modules, they must therefore be published under the 
AGPL License. However, if you are using OpenERP Enterprise and need to make 
a module for strictly private use, a special Licensing exception is 
available (OpenERP AGPL + Private Use), which allows you to make a private 
module and not be required to give the source code to all users (see the 
next questions)"

I don't think AGPL versus GPL is the reason for that difference ?

I ask this question in order to protect the client, not the developer. The 
client wishes to keep his own developments (new modules) private (not have 
to be requested the source code by another company nor any user whether 
internal or external to the company).

Why not use LGPL licence instead of GPL regarding Tryton framework ?

Thanks for your time (again...)
