Re: [Lame-dev] Exception to LGPL license for LAME

Hi John,

you are right, technically he can statically link LGPL code.
But I don't know how practical it is, to provide necessary
object code to let an end user re-link his application with
some newer version of a LGPL'ed library.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10130143/gpl-lgpl-and-static-linking

* Proprietary Source code + LGPL Source code

+ statically linked:

	- Either you must release both parts as LGPL.

	- Or provide everything that allow the user to relink the
application with a different version of the LGPL source code.
In this case the other requirements are the same as if it was
dynamically linked.

+ dynamically linked:

	 - LGPL code stays LGPL, you can keep the proprietary code proprietary.


Ciao Robert
