It wouldn't be appropriate to name specific names within a public forum,
however suffice it to say that I'm not aware of a single prominent "Camp
Smalltalk" person who believes LGPL is a problem. You can google Camp
Smalltalk discussions and see some of it yourself.
There are likewise a number of prominent Cincom folks who don't think it
is a problem. Pick a Cincomer, then google on GLORP plus their name,
and you can see for yourself.
And this doesn't even mention private conversations about the topic.
