@lethalbit GPL != LGPL, LGPL is GPL + linking exception

i was about to edit the post to also mention, the former case, GPL proper, distributing the binary linked against a GPL library means, effectively, the user receiving that binary needs to be allowed access to the source code of both, and everything else that comes with the GPL -- but this means, if i got it right, someone could take the MIT crate, re-write the GPL crate as MIT or smth, then build that, and release that as MIT
