Actually this was our original idea of using the BSD license as far as
I remember, making it possible for companies to take the code and do
things they want with it.

This was taking into account they kept it for themselves so not hurting
our own incentive to do program missing things.

It appears that we did not consider someone else releasing it under
a pseudo OpenSource license. (pseudo as in one-way free migration of
sourcecode).

Probably a license change to the LGPL would be a choice.
Companies can do their own seperate additions (like a complete DirectX
replacement), but can't just 'fix' library parts and keep those changes
for themselves.

Hmm, I don't really know. I wouldn't mind changing my code to LGPL though.
