GPLv3 is written with its intent that LGPLv3 is really not needed, but 
LGPLv3 still has words for backward compatibility.

If the interaction between OpenSim and Atomatrix was designed 
specifically for an intimate interaction between the two, then there 
would be concern. With a standard interface in place, the GPLv3 shows 
delineation between components and allows for their generality . That 
delineation was not so clear in GPLv2. Section 1 and 7 of the GPLv3 
covers that pretty well.

Is there any reason not to standardize parts of OpenSim? Perhaps, 
OpenSim needs a standards committee more than a change of license.
