@RealDotNetDave thank you for your application... the Project Committee reviewed your application last week. The .NET Foundation Project Charter (https://github.com/dotnet-foundation/projects) contains Eligibility Criteria related to licensing:
Licenses and Copyright
At this time the .NET Foundation does not accept projects licensed under non-permissive / copyleft licenses. The GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE is not considered to be a permissive license.
did notice that your project was originally licensed under Apache 2.0 (permissive) however the license was later changed to the LGPL on Jan 18, 2021. I am sure you had valid reasons for this change in terms of making the license more restrictive.
At this time based on the eligibility criteria, the Project Committee will need to place your application on hold. If anything changes which would make your project eligible for membership in the future, the Committee will review your application once more.

Additional Notes
This is the common code that I have been writing since .NET 2. I heavily use proper coding standards, and I benchmark each major release to ensure the best code performance. The purpose of this code to to put the code we wright over and over again into one set of assemblies.
Along with documenting the code via XML comments, I write an article for every release and more that can be found here: https://dotnettips.wordpress.com/category/spargine/
