Hi,

Now what I understand is that if u use them binarywise, its absolutely free.
Otherwise, u have to give the object/source code so that they can link with
newer versions. The only reson a person might not the library source wise is
becoz s/he has changed a part of its normal behaviour. In such a case, the
user cannot link it with a later version of the libraries coz they wont have
the modified functionality. I'm confused. Maybe its the other way round?

And whats the problem with having every library LGPL? You'll see why if u
read the licence. Its fair ennuf.
