Well, it's true, I wasn't aware of the lgpl anymore, but apparently just like rms, because this quote from him from the interview, in which he seperates the Open-Source Movement, from the "Free Software Movement":

> They think it’s just fine if someone wants to > write proprietary extensions to their software

would mean, that everybody who uses the lgpl is not part of the "Free software movement" anymore ...




My interpretation was LGPL exists to treat it like strategic sacrifices. It's not "just fine, it's a bearable evil for the greater good.
