I also found this interesting piece of information:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/LGPL/2.1/

> If you modify your copy or copies of the library or any portion of it, you may distribute the resulting library provided you do so under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

Check.

> However, programs that link to the library may be licensed under terms of your choice, so long as the library itself can be changed.

Statically linked applications prevent the library from being changed. So that might be a violation.

> [...]

And, just for completeness:
