Well, no, as someone else already stated forcing people to ship object files is a PITA and it's really not feasible with languages that do codegen, templates, ... because you inevitably end up injecting copylefted code inside of your files.

I like copyleft as a way to protect my code from freeloaders, but I don't think that imposing the same view on other people is fair TBH. I want people to be able to use my code without being forced to "convert" to my creed first



You can obfuscate your code.


what for? I'd rather just use the MPL2 instead


So you can use someone elses rust (or other languages with templates, that really need to be re-compiled) LGPL library, without publishing your proprietary code.
