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.
