Thanks for clearing some of this up for me everyone!  I sometimes
have a tough time with the legalese in licenses and I try to keep
a healthy sense of caution when dealing with this subject.

So LGPL and GPL+ex accomplish the same goals?  If this is the
case, then I would feel much better about relicensing my pieces.
My only requirement is that I can use the libraries in both my open
source and commercial settings.

How are these two licenses not the same?
