Also, using GPL for a library is often the better choice!<p>Many people believe that GPL is for programs and LGPL for libraries - as if the &quot;L&quot; would stand for &quot;Library&quot;. But that&#x27;s wrong! This was never the intention. The &quot;L&quot; stands for &quot;Lesser&quot; and means less protection than GPL, for very special circumstances.<p>According to FSF, you should use LGPL only for libraries that are competing with widely accepted proprietary libraries. For anything new and original, you should use GPL - to promote Free Software.<p>&quot;Why you shouldn&#x27;t use the Lesser GPL for your next library&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gnu.org&#x2F;licenses&#x2F;why-not-lgpl.en.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gnu.org&#x2F;licenses&#x2F;why-not-lgpl.en.html</a><p>(I disagree with that article in one point: If you compete with pervasive software, use a simple license like ISC&#x2F;MIT&#x2F;BSD rather than LGPL, to promote their usage even more.)
