That's fine with me. I like everything about the GPL, except for the restriction on linking to/from closed-source binaries.

The LGPL already provides an exception for linking to/from closed-source binaries. Can you post the passage in the LGPL or GPL where you have to 'explicitly allow' closed-source linking? Cheers.
