I just stopped counting the number of times I've been asked to

change the license of some of my code from GPL to LGPL 'so we

can use it in our product'. There seem to be a lot of people

around who just think it's perfectly OK to make money by using

work of others without paying them. The latest was just a few

weeks ago, MikrosImage . I offered them a

commercial license at a price that would have been peanuts to

them. Result: not even a reply. They are probably using my code

now anyway.
