My understanding is that even under LGPL you still suffer 'pollution'
unless your very careful. By this I mean, if you had a propriety part
that will form part of the 'library' that other people are going to use,
this gets polluted and falls under LGPL. The only way that proprietary
code is kept clean is if it an application uses the LGPL'ed stuff as a
library.
