I've been following the debate here, and wondered- what would you think of a modified GPL of sorts that is "dormantly viral" and only spreads with the functions placed under it? This would be functionally similar to the LGPL, except that it's a bit freer about how the code can be linked to. For instance, I write coolstuff.c under this license. MegaSoft modifies it for use in their propietary software. If they release their modified form, the rest of their source code can stay both legal and secret.
