        I think you really mean "proprietary software" instead of "commercial
software". Since all Free Software qualify as "commercial software", it is
a bit confusing to refer to proprietary software in this way.

        IMHO LGPL is better than Modified BSD. However, I encourage
you to protect all your programs with the GNU GPL. The proprietary
software industry is trying to drown the Free Software movement by
inserting dependencies to proprietary software within Free Software
programs so that they cannot be used independantly. Only the GNU GPL
can vaccine your programs so that they are not infected with
proprietary software. That's the reason why the proprietary software
industry is fighting against the GNU GPL license and promoting the
false idea that Free Software and proprietary software can be mixed
without losing freedom.

        Cheers,
