And if the components are orthogonal and thus separable, you can split the lib into parts. Think of a static linked binary made with C - the linker will only incorporate the code related to the actually used symbols - not more. Regardless of what license the lib has. Barracuda has quite suceeded in beeing orthogonal for the main parts - however, the saved few hundered kbs of jarred code aren't worth the hassle in times where desktop machines are shipped with half a gig of mem.
