   No, I'm not.

   To start with, the LGPL only applies to libraries.  The license I am
proposing applies to any code (and in fact when I wrote it I wasn't thinking
in terms of applying it to libraries).
   Somewhat related to that is the difference that this license does not
prohibit the closed-sourcing of derivative works; where LGPL permits the
existance of closed-source works which use a library, my license would permit
the existance of closed-source improvements upon said library.
