Maybe you need to come right out and ask what it is you have
on your mind so we can put this to rest?
I just did ask what what on my mind. But I agree that the questions and answers
are getting circular. It appears that the best thing for me to do is just wait
for you to put several thousand more hours into your framework, and have a half
dozen copy cats incorporate it into their proprietary commercial offerings
without so much as returning to give you the time of day, then see if you change
your mind about the LGPL. If I understand correctly, that's why the organizers
of the GNU project are asking contributors to stop using the LGPL. We've see
the same evolution with Zend licensing.
If you use LGPL (or Mozilla or Apache), it is actually a _success_ if the software is being used in proprietary commercial offerings.

I still think that the future value of software is not in who uses the actual bytes, but who need help in doing so. If you have critical mass in users, the few percent who need help give sufficient income.
