But that massive cross-module inlining happens at your computer,
where the rights allowed by GPL for private use applies.
Not if I ship you a statically linked binary. You assume everyone compiles my Haskell source code :-).
So, as long as you distribute the GPL/LGPL code separate from your
BSD/proprietary code, no restrictions should apply. (I believe
this applies even with GPL, as all you'll be using in your code is
the API which, as far as I know, can't be copyrighted, like any
kind of interface -- even hardware interface. But I can't find a
source on that.)
This is not suitable for everyone.
Best,
