You missed the discussion about the need of static linking for some
projects / apps.
If you as developer/company don't have the free choice to use shared binaries,
you'll run into problems with LGPL libs - there's no need to discuss
"Why not use shared binaries?" any more, we all know the pros and contras.
Best Regards,
Chris
