You mean proprietary, I guess.
Of course there are restrictions. That is the whole point of having
the GNU Lesser General Public License. However I won't use the LPGL
for any new projects. I have been asked several times to change GnuPG
to the LGPL so that it will be possible to build "more customer
friendly GNU/Linux distribution". Guess what they mean by this.
