I have always been wondering about this. Where exactly in the LGPL does
it say that? I have always considered sect. 2 to be the killer because
subclassing interface classes (like you suggest) seem to be exactly the
kind of modification that section 2 refers to and the only applicable
choice for those is, according to section 2 of the license either LGPL
or GPL.
IANAL, but I'm curious where in the LGPL you see your interpretation.
