FGM, that's correct. Sorry I was unclear when I said that. :)

The only caveat mentioned by the FSF was that such dual-licensing  
would NOT be an acceptable workaround to the 'bridge code' problem.  
In other words, "Drupal is GPL, my module is GPL AND LGPL, so the  
piece that connects to my module isn't affected by the GPL" is  
invalid due to the fact that anything sharing address space with  
Drupal (ie, included PHP files) has to be compatible with ITS  
license, not just the module's license.
