The author is the licenser, the receiver is the licensee. The licensee is 
under the obligations of the license, the licenser not. The only obligation 
the licenser has is not to withdraw what he gave. Do not only read the text, 
understand the situation. Then read the text correctly.

From the lgpl: "Each licensee is addressed as "you"."   And: "You may copy and 
distribute verbatim copies (...)". etc, etc, etc. Where are the obligations 
for 'I' , which would be the licenser? 'I' and 'licenser' are not found in 
the document! Course not, an author does not give away things only to be held 
reponsible himself too. No, disclaimer everywhere! All doors closed. Hey, do 
you think i would recommend the lgpl if there where possible damages to these 
fine artists around here?

Cordialemente,

Ante
