Wow, this is just wrong.  The L originally did stand for Library but FSF&#x2F;Stallman wanted to discourage its use, so it was renamed it to Lesser.<p>LGPL was created to appease authors that didn&#x27;t want license terms to propagate like GPL, exceptionally common with library and embedded codes.  Alas, ignorant authors were also choosing LGPL simply because they were creating a library and FSF didn&#x27;t like that trend.  It was a completely political move to fit their agenda.<p>See <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License#History" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;GNU_Lesser_General_Public_Lice...</a>
