Some questions about this:
* Is it possible to release parts of the code that are independant from 
GPL code, but are in a program that makes use of GPL code, under LGPL? 
The reason I ask is because I want to release some parts of the bible 
tool I'm working on as LGPL (mainly the code to read/search OSIS and 
ThML files, which is code that is totally independant from the Sword 
Engine).
* Does the author of some code has the right to use the same 
(self-written) code in both a GPL and a commercial project?
