Let's disregard that RedHat managed to cross the 1 billion dollar 
revenue in 2011.  No job, no food?  I'm sure with a 1 billion dollar 
revenue, food supply for people who work at RedHat can't be that bad; 
the last RH employee I saw, appeared to be well fed (that was Andrew 
Haley).  They do that entirely with open source software, of which a 
significant portion and the core of RedHat's business model is GPL 
software.

What's true is that the LGPL provides an "additional permission" which 
can be taken away by the next contributor (it cannot be retroactively be 
taken away from the original distribution, if you fear that - you may 
pass it on without the LGPL permissions, but anybody who wants still can 
get the LGPL'd sources from the original author, and the GPL is very 
clear that the license is between you and the original authors, not with 
some man-in-the-middle).  This possible removal is necessary to make it 
possible to mix LGPL with GPL programs, it's a compatibility issue - if 
it wasn't there, the LGPL would be GPL-incompatible, and that would be 
really, really bad.
