Hello,
I was hoping that someone could help me understand the LGPL better.
I think have a good grasp of the GPL, BSD and SISSL licenses, but I don't 
fully understand the LGPL license.
In practical terms, how is the LGPL license different from the BSD?
If they both permit a third-party to use my work for propietary purposes, 
is there any greater "protection" that is afforded by the LGPL over the 
BSD?
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
