LGPL library or applications are available for use in commercial 
applications, we do ask that if you fix anything you send the fixes home 
to us (if not you just need to refix next time we make a release). The 
uDig applicatoin in this context does work like a library, it is simply 
the framework you are using to construct your own application.

Please note that a uDig  based application uses a number of licenses:
- there is code from eclipse.org
- there is LGPL code from the uDig GIS Platform and GIS Application
- there is LGPL code from the GeoTools library
- and so on...
