In a word, you are quite wrong :) LGPL allows you to link in the LGPL'ed code as a library, provided that you make the library available under LGPL, including any modifications you have made. In contrast, to use a GPL'ed library, the entire application must be available under the GPL. -- regards, Esben -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
