As Wols already pointed out on the list, using LGPLv3+ without the right to relicense modifications under GPL is an additional restriction that IMHO, IANAL, is incomatible with LGPL. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html and explicitly https://www.gnu.org/licenses/ "The Lesser GPL includes a provision that lets you alter the distribution terms to the ordinary GPL, so that you can copy code into another program covered by the GPL." Additionally, we ask contributors to explicitly dual license their code with also MPLv2 ( https://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/ ), see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Developers Please reconsider your license decision, as is, we won't be able to include your contributions.
