*We* includes not me, although commerical interests are interesting, 
such things are simply out of my PhD focus.
I think this is a more political CDK administrator discussion you should 
  discuss internally.
If the LGPL/GPL discussion will be a problem for the QSAR project, there 
should be an official guideline for this project, even if this will 
exlude JOELib.

Kind regards, Joerg
