If the company wanted to make changes to Kawa, then in the current
license that new code would be under GPL.  If the company didn't want
to use a GPL license they could negotiate with Per for a private
license.

If Kawa were under the LGPL, then the company could (under one
interpretation) just publish its changes to Kawa and not pay Per for a
private license.
