Having not worked with the LGPL as much as probably others on this list; is there check list or site that shows what things they would have to do when releasing the commercial software as far as notices and readme's? The reason behind this question is: What if you feel it makes no difference to the user what the program was written in? You could include all the source but never really say correct? OR is there something that has to be shown to the user ? What have other companies done ?
