do a few months back. After all the fuss about binary-only modules

LGPL is then a logical and commonly accepted choice for a license

Not exactly, because I don't want people to include interesting parts
of my code into their binary-only programs. I just want to allow
people to link binary-only modules with my program. However, programs
that are already GPLv2 are welcome to steal part of my code.


That sounds like the LGPL to me...
