A lawyer could easily argue that a bug fix is significant. Or maybe they do a couple of bugfixes, and/or some tiny feature commits? How many of these tiny bug fixes/features until the release is considered significant? Who's the judge of that? The BSD Clause was a great idea in theory, but the implementation failed horribly. Didn't consider a buyout from a competitor who just sits on it [with yearly 'fake' releases]. Oh well, LGPL is still usable in a lot of business use cases. ....or are you baiting/trolling me??? you didn't actually think.... well I just don't know anymore... and what do you say Thiago, about leading a fork, should the need arise (or has it already?)? Imo do it through Thiago-personal, not Thiago-intel d3fault
