My understanding is that it's now the "Lesser GPL" (rather than "Library
GPL") because it is applicable to programs as well as libraries.
Essentially, if you want GPL-like licensing regarding the publication of
source code for modified versions, etc., but you don't mind having your
code used as-is in commercial products, then you can use the LGPL.
