[postgis-users] liblwgeom and LGPL?

Hi there,

as far as I can tell from the postgis sources, both postgis and liblwgeom are under the GPL. Which means, that when I want to link lwgeom to another piece of software (I'm thinking of spatialite here), this again needs to be GPL and when I then want to link spatialite together with e.g. gdal this again becomes GPL etc. etc. -- which eventually might start to mess other things up. Wouldn't it make sense/be possible to put liblwgeom (being a lib) under LGPL to avoid this? 

Best,
 Jim
