I've been thinking for awhile that GPL's whole notion of "linking" is archaic with modern software architectures. I don't see how it is really tenable. LGPL seems only slightly better. GPL with library exception seems reasonable, though. However, I'm no expert with this, and it's not clear to me what substantive differences there are between GPL with library exception and the Mozilla Public License (other than the political manifesto that the former includes in its license).
