Graeme Rocher :
The news that Ext-JS has, from one release to the next, changed from a modified LGPL to a GPL based license nearly made me fall off my chair. There have been many poor judged, and ill advised decisions made by software companies over the last few years, but this has got to be up there with the stupidist I've seen and I'm not even personally an Ext-JS user.

I'm Ludovic Dubost, the CEO of XWiki, an open source non dual-licenced LGPL software. I've just found on the Internet that you have decided to move extjs from an LGPL to a dual licenced GPL.
I wanted to let you know my personal opinion both as a potential user (we where going to work with extjs in XWiki) and as the head of an Open-Source company,
