I thought about this, too. However, maybe an addition might be  needed in
the direction that if you use the library, you may do so, *but* you have to
supply the source code of the library in the form you use. That would mean
you can ship a product with the library in it, without the need to give out
object files for your product. However, if you have made improvements to the
library, you have to give them back to the community.
