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.
