[Mono-list] [Mono-aspnet-list] sqlite questions?

[Francisco Figueiredo Jr.]

Yeap, we changed license so it would be more aligned with server
license itself and also to help users with commercial products.
Although LGPL already allowed them to use Npgsql, they had fears about
it.
Another motivation was VS.Net design support which may impose some
restrictions in code distribution in source form which would give a
conflict with LGPL.
