No. Once code is released under the LGPL, it cannot be withdrawn. Autodesk is firmly committed to the FDO Open Source project and has no plans to return to a closed development model for this product. Like other developers working on the FDO Open Source project, Autodesk expects to contribute further enhancements to the code base that will be licensed under the LGPL.
