But that is the intent of the LGPL, to protect the rights of the users *receiving* the code, not to guarantee that modifications are available to the entire world.
I wonder whether the following statements are valid: When I write a program that uses an LGPL library, I am allowed to distribute the *sources* of my program under a permissive (non- copyleft) license like BSD3. I am not allowed to distribute my program in *binary* form under a permissive license (even if I release the sources too). Am I allowed to distribute the sources under BSD3 and the binary under LGPL? Would that make sense? Maybe not, because anyone who distributes a binary of my program or derivative work must license it under LGPL anyway.
