> With LGPL, you can't statically link the library though.

no, that's tiresomely false. You can link proprietary code statically with LGPL code. LGPL does not give a shit about static or dynamic libraries because LGPL is not a language-specific license.

Thanks for the link. The nuance I was missing is that you can distribute statically-linked LGPL library as long as you provide a way for your user to override the chosen library with his own version of the library.
