The issue is that for GLORP, for various political reasons, we are stuck
with LGPL for the time being.
But as suggested, I think we could tighten the GLORP LGPL license by
explicitly defining the terms "library" and "calling code" to be more
Smalltalk-centric, thus eliminating some element of doubt about the
usability of the license.
