[Qt-interest] LGPL and static linking

[alexander golks]

yes, they do indeed.
if a lib is statically linked, you can't change the lib without changing the program.
a dll can be exchanged at runtime, not a lib.
thats the difference.

while dynamically linking a "pure"-gpl dll to commercial code is said to be dissallowed,
a lgpl-dll seems to be linkable,
whereas static linking must be explicitly allowed, as some licensers do.

but i'm no lawyer, also, so...
