I'm not sure I understand this. Could you give a fictitious example of a
company that would want to negotiate a commercial license because of the
current license, but wouldn't want to negotiate a commercial license if
it were LGPLed?
If the company wanted to make changes to Kawa, then in the current
license that new code would be under GPL. If the company didn't want
to use a GPL license they could negotiate with Per for a private
license.
If Kawa were under the LGPL, then the company could (under one
interpretation) just publish its changes to Kawa and not pay Per for a
private license.
