I have a personal dislike for gold (I don't like soft yellow metals, nothing moral or anything against the metal) and I gave up diamands after having seen the Nova special many years back.
When the time came for me to get attached in that way, I was able to talk it over with my SO and I ended up just getting her a custom platinum and white sapphire ring. The stone looks like diamond, so it fools people just looking at it who might otherwise get all animated about it not being 'real'. The weight of the platinum takes people by surprise and gives a very solid feel to the ring, much more than 14k would. We added in a neat latin inscription and some scrollwork around the stone and came up with a ring that was far nicer than most anything you find in the stores.
Take the time to talk to her about why, and find a good jewler, preferably wholesale if you can, and you can get any kind of stone you like in something that is what you want for about 1/3rd the price of the retail stores pushing the diamonds.
Disclaimer: I do not work for any company involved in this trade, I just like the old union jewlery houses over the mall stores.
Where I got the ring made.
The original source before obfascation is still a GPL derived work. It is not 'some random other program' that is being released in the end, but that program. Making the variable names difficult to read cannot be seriously expected to be enough to make it a completely different source tree.
Not only does section 3 cover it about the most perfered form, but it would also be easy to argue that the non-obfascated program is in fact the one being released, as both versions of the source are the same program, or you'd not be bothering.
