FGM, that's correct. Sorry I was unclear when I said that. :)
The only caveat mentioned by the FSF was that such dual-licensing
would NOT be an acceptable workaround to the 'bridge code' problem.
In other words, "Drupal is GPL, my module is GPL AND LGPL, so the
piece that connects to my module isn't affected by the GPL" is
invalid due to the fact that anything sharing address space with
Drupal (ie, included PHP files) has to be compatible with ITS
license, not just the module's license.
