    The Lesser Gnu Public License is not viral, i.e. anyone can build
    proprietary, closed software for money incorporating the code
    licensed under LPGL.

    The contagious license is the Gnu Public License GPL.

    For an excellent (although clearly biased ...) overview over the
    different models see
    http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html

    Of course, I'm not a lawyer.
