"Viral" was the only word which sprung to my mind when looking for the right word. And personally I think viral is a mostly neutral word (see viral marketing) which describes the situation. Would "share alike" be a better word perhaps?

    The LGPL is just as "viral" as the GPL, because they are both copyright licenses.
