Hm, the minimal requirement of the LGPL is that the end-user can
re-link with a different version of the lib, right?  So using a DLL on
some type of computer is OK... are you thinking about consoles?
Didn't Indrema officially establish that they could ship GPL'd
software in their planned console?  And what about all those embedded
apps that use Linux?  Is the TiVo source code available?

The legalities are too much for my tiny brain, but it seems this
question will probably come up again now that SDL runs on the PS2.
