[barcode] change to LGPL possible ?

[Dominik Seichter]

Hi,

If you develop a commercial application, why don't you look into a commercial 
barcode library. For example TEC-IT Datenverarbeitung offers a good barcode 
library on Windows and Unix platforms. Take a look on their homepage for more 
information: www.tec-it.com

I think this would be a better alternative than trying to switch GNU Barcodes 
license.

regards,
	Dominik
