yes but the LGPL force the company to release the source of the LGPL code, did 
your licence forced it ? If it didn't, then it's not the GPL against the 
world but licence that force code to remain open against the world. And LGPL 
force code to remain open too.

My main concern is that not allowing closed-source plugin for krita, will only 
means that company will support the gimp (or photoshop in fact) and the gimp 
will get all the advertisement and spotlight from them. Maybe that is what we 
want.
