If I have to open source part of my code that depends on it, then
another part of code will depend on that part, and so on. In the end
everything must be open source becouse every next layer of code
depends on previos one.

Lets say I use treestore in my document class (not using Bakery) and i
hook to signals like row_inserted and such then I cant isolate that
class becouse it it still uses sigc++, and all real logic is in it,
gui realy is not important :), so there can't be any clean cut from
open source and property part.

Don't get me wrong, If there will be any generic code that I can
extract from it and release it under LGPL I will..
