Yes. Decide on something, and then stick to it.

Yes.

Generally use GPL for libs that provide functionality which is
not easily available anywhere else, i.e. stuff that is nice
enough to be a reason for someone to put their code under GPL.
Use LGPL for other libs, unless if there is a specific reason
why LGPL isn't appropriate, in which case you can start thinking
about GPL+LE.
I think the really good libs which should be GPL'd rather than
LGPL'd should be outside the dotgnu-libs package anyway. So I
think it's safe to say that everything in the dotgnu-libs
package will be under LGPL.
Greetings, Norbert.
