What is your opinion to the answer for the question "How is that different from the GNU {Lesser,Library} GPL?" on the page "http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/17_intro/license.html"?

Is the running discussion "(L)GPL and C++ templates issue" (http://groups.google.de/groups?group=comp.lang.c%2B%2B.moderated&threadm=4174046c%241_2%40news.bluewin.ch) of any help for the further OpenC++ development?
