i agree to 99%. the 1% i don't agree on is for instance the file
"Application.js.template"
that is part of xmlvm (thus lgpl):

to make my point clear let me quote the file here:


/* ************************************************************************
#asset(temp_qx_app/*)
************************************************************************ */
/**
 * This is the main application class of your custom application "temp_qx_app"
 */
qx.Class.define("{{XMLVM_TEMP_PROJECT_NAME}}.Application",
{
  extend : qx.application.Standalone,
  members :
  {
    main : function()
    {
      // Call super class
      this.base(arguments);

      // Enable logging in debug variant
      if (qx.core.Variant.isSet("qx.debug", "on"))
      {
        // support native logging capabilities, e.g. Firebug for Firefox
        qx.log.appender.Native;
        // support additional cross-browser console. Press F7 to
toggle visibility
        qx.log.appender.Console;
      }
      {{XMLVM_MAIN_METHOD_CALL}}
    }
  }
});



this is lgpl code and the transformed code is copied into it,
which imho is a modification (not inheritance or linking) of the
original code, and should thus
be made available under the lgpl as well.

i might be wrong about this and as long as the intentions of the
project are clear
this is not going to be a problem at all.


best, hansi.
