Do the LGPL and similar weak copyleft licenses not satisfy this goal?

As long as the company publishes any modifications to the library itself, they are free to use it, whether or not they open source their project.



I don't think that the LGPL can satisfy this goal when it comes to embedded devices, where the whole notion of “dynamic linking” may not reasonably exist in the first place. The state of IoT security is a hopeless trashfire already; every bit of help is needed there.
