I have a library I will be wanting to release shortly. It was developed with Free Pascal and Lazarus which is licensed under a Modified LGPL with a linking exception. It also uses some third party components that also use the same Modified LGPL license.

My question is, what is the difference between this license and the GNU Lesser General Public License?

I don't want any thing for my code, I just hope it's useful to someone. I would like to have credit when someone uses my code but I doubt I'll get to upset if someone uses it and forgets to credit me as long as they don't try to pretend that my code is theirs.

Is the Lesser GPL compatible with the modified LGPL?

Is there a reason to use one over the other?
