No, GPL forces one to open everything.
Not true. It forces you to open everything that uses ANYTHING that is
itself GPL contaminated and not purely your own work. (You can dual
license your own work.)
I don't see what the big deal is with the GPL "encumbrance". It's just
like any other license - if you can't live with its terms, just don't
incorporate software licensed by it into your own work.
That's all anyone here said.
Why is it that any time someone says "I don't like [L]GPL, so I don't
use libraries distributed under it" the villagers rise up with torches,
storm the tower, and angrily shout "If you don't like it, then just
don't USE it!"

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
