When it comes to licensing or anything legal for that matter, it helps
to be precise. If you don't care about that, fine but I don't want to
add to the confusion that already exists  LGPL and GPL despite related
to each other but one cannot equate the two  Even GPLv2 and GPLv3 has a
big difference in dealing with patents for instance.
