Except that's not actually true. See, the point of the LGPL is not just that the user has access to the source, but that the user can modify the source and run it. Dynamic linking allows the user this freedom. Static linking generally does not, so unless you provide a way for users to delink your binary then you have to distribute the entire binary as LGPL.
