Hello,

Please read the mailing list FAQ which instructs people not to top-post.

There is not; the GPL and LGPL don't need one, follow the compliance 
checklist on the legal page and move on. Be mindful of patents, which are 
discussed at the bottom of the legal page.

You'll find a lot of info searching on "using lgpl in commercial software", 
including http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/439136.html


So, you your organization _requires_ a specific agreement naming all the 
parties, you/they will be out of luck. OTOH, if you/they are comfortable 
with the LGPL, make a good attempt to comply and there shouldn't be any 
problems.

Later,

z!
