Permissive licenses are fine, but they're not the only way to make software that can be combined and shipped with code licensed under different terms.

You are right. I didn't say it is the only way either. I told people to choose the licenses depending on what they are trying to accomplish.

Did you forget that there is a lesser GPL?

Not really. I did indirectly convey about LGPL. But I don't know why it should be important since this post or my comment isn't about covering all OSS licenses.
