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.
Well it may make sense. People can write a replacement for the LGPL code, modify my code to use it, and distribute a binary without distributing the sources. They could not do this, if my sources were LGPL licensed. Sounds valid? -- Underestimating the novelty of the future is a time-honored tradition. (D.G.)
