I would say that it makes the (L)GPL totally inappropriate.

I have thought about making a small modification to the LGPL, but that
is not allowed because the LGPL text itself is (c). That of course makes
sense, it would ve very annoying if you got a piece of code with what
seems to be an LGPL license but it turns out to be subtly different.

Another approach would be to add a statement to the comment in the code
that refers to the LGPL. This fails because (for the jal-ethernet
project) SourceForge was to be used, which requires a recognised free
license.

So I ended up with zlib, which is OK except that it does not force
modifications to be made public.
