mm, yes, "lose" is imprecise language. in a slip now familliar to people 
watching record labels discuss copyright, I meant "not get what I want" 
and I said "lose". my mistake.

so, "what I want" is enforced provision, to end users, of the source 
code for the libre parts of a program. I think source code is important.

I'm curious about what you want, which is not possible with LGPL. is it 
so troubling to put the proprietary parts in their own files and compile 
them separately?
