I wonder what the implications are of changing to the LGPL from BY-SA.
Must all future revisions of my library also be available for use under
BY-SA, since it was at one time distributed under that licence? Are
there any issues with it being available under both BY-SA and LGPL?
I suppose it would be ideal if I can just switch to LGPL and forget the
BY-SA altogether.
Thanks,
Cameron
