You know, Clark:  Speaking for myself, I have no interest in advising
querents about how closely they can lawfully skirt the requirements of
copyleft licences, or how they can creatively circumvent those
requirements entirely, in order to use copylefted properties in
proprietary works.

You keep asking basically the same question, but are seeing scant
interest in helping you.  Might be that my view is common.
