Why was LGPL created?
The GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) is a free-software license published by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). The LGPL was developed as a compromise between the strong copyleft of the GNU General Public License (GPL) and more permissive licenses such as the BSD licenses and the MIT License.
What does LGPL stand for?
GNU Lesser General Public License
LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License) is a free software license published by the Free Software Foundation. The LGPL provides a more permissive alternative for the strictly copyleft GPL.
Can Freeware be used commercially?
Freeware is a piece of software or a program that can be downloaded, installed, and used at no cost. This, however, doesn’t grant any further rights (just like any other commercial software). Namely, you cannot have access to the source code, use it for commercial purposes, redistribute, or change it.
What can you do with the LGPL license?
This license is mainly applied to libraries. You may copy, distribute and modify the software provided that modifications are described and licensed for free under LGPL.
When to use GPLv3 or GPL Version 2?
Over the years we’ve contributed code to projects under “GPL version 2 or any later version”, and the project itself has been distributed under the same terms. If a user decides to take the project’s code (incorporating my contributions) under GPLv3, does that mean I’ve automatically granted GPLv3’s explicit patent license to that user?

What are the obligations of the LGPLv3?
With LGPLv3 it is explicitly stated that the user also needs to be able to run the re-linked binary, and that sufficient installation information must be provided. In practice, this forbids the creation of closed devices, also known as tivoization.
