I wonder whether the following statements are valid:

When I write a program that uses an LGPL library, I am allowed to  
distribute the *sources* of my program under a permissive (non- 
copyleft) license like BSD3.

I am not allowed to distribute my program in *binary* form under a  
permissive license (even if I release the sources too).

Am I allowed to distribute the sources under BSD3 and the binary under  
LGPL?

Would that make sense? Maybe not, because anyone who distributes a  
binary of my program or derivative work must license it under LGPL  
anyway.
