That is true. I expect majority of the libusbK users to
choose Modified BSD over GPL v3 due to the limitation
which comes from GPL v3. Personally I prefer libraries
to be licensed under less restricted license than LGPL
if possible. As for LGPL v2 versus LGPL v3, I do not
have preferences. I just prefer modified BSD over
LGPL and prefer LGPL over GPL.

On the other hand, people who like GPL v3 very much
can choose GPL v3 option for libusbK and shuts down
proprietary applications for their modified version of
libusbK if so desired.
