Lesser GPL license

[bob]

Hello,

sorry, I think this is the wrong newsgroup to post this but couldn't
find a better one.

I'm thinking of using a charting control
(http://www.netcontrols.org/scpl/) for a commercial piece of software.
The charting control is distributed under the Lesser GPL. I tried to
read what this meant but didn't get too far. All I want to now is:
can I sell software that uses the charting control?

anyone know?

Yes. You can link to a library released under the LGPL in a
closed-source proprietary project. If you *modify* the library you must
release the source to those modifications.
