That sounds correct to me. LGPL is less restrictive than GPL.

Concerning the patch, I haven't really tried it yet but have comments from
the structure stand point:
1. move to subclassing gtkEntry is obviously correct but then focus_s and
next_in_line object data should become the class' fields.
2. but: I have impression gtkEntry  has already a flag/status field that
says if the field has focus or not. Also, handling focus with next_in_line
is superflous, this task should be left to GTK (It also doesn't work very
well when some of the input fields are hidden, IIRC).

Does it sound convincing?
