 GNU Lesser General Public License at opensource encyclopedia
This is useful if you want to create a version of the code that proprietary software companies cannot use in non-free products.
Another interesting and little-known feature of the LGPL is that you can convert any LGPL'd piece of software into a GPL'd piece of software (See section 3 of the license).
The main difference between the GPL and the LGPL is that the latter can be linked to a non-(L)GPLed software program.
