How will the license enforce that an app using an LGPL version of the library can't be sold? As such LGPL doesn't mean the consuming app has to be free.

Sorry, I should have written "apps conforming to the terms of the LGPL" instead of "free". Of course it's still possible to sell apps based on Boden licensed under LGPL as long as you comply with the license terms.

I fixed the parent comment.

Is there then a business model in a commercial license for Boden if a company can use it as LGPL? In general are there many companies who pay for a commercial license to avoid LGPL?
