A clarification here:

I write a new GTK+ widget, derived from other GTK+ widgets, but which
use some specific code which is not free (both in terms of cost and
freedom).

Has the source code to the new widget got to be distributed freely?
Can one do something like: provide teh source to the new widget and
put the onus on the end user to supply the missing parts
herself/himself? Is this legally and ethically acceptable?

So long, and thanks for all the fish ...
