Hello all, I wish to start a FOSS based project for enterprise use. The project is developed in LAMP(GNU/Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) suite and also uses third party libraries like Smarty(http://smarty.php.net) , Xajax(http://xajaxproject.org) and ADOdb (http://adodb.sourceforge.net/). All these libraries are licensed under LGPL. Can I use GNU GPL(v2) for the above software? Kindly provide some guidance.

My vote is for ``GPL v2 or later''; because you will need the (still in pipeline) GPL version 3. and code from LGPL can be used in GPL applciations.
And no, I am no longer a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.
