Hmm, there's a nifty idea. All GPLv2-compatible projects could still
use gtk without any changes, and, as you say, all closed proprietary
apps would be forced to follow the terms of the LGPLv3 for gtk.
Open question: are there any weird legal side-effects of dual-licensing?
I recall a big deal in the *BSD community not to long ago where some
people didn't believe that dual-licensing was even legal (or something
like that).
Aside from that, would there be any downsides to any existing open
source apps that use gtk?
