Why LGPL when the original license is more permissive? (https://sourceware.org/bzip2/manual/manual.html)

bzip3 is not made by the same author as bzip2, that's why there is a licence disparity.

		Feels pretty odd to take something named foo2 and claim foo3 on top of it.

The author of bzip3 probably doesnt like pushover licenses so made user rights stronger

Please stop questioning people's choice of license.

If you don't like it, you're entitled to not using it.
