could you explain that a bit? As far as I understand the LGPL it would be enough if the Dynapi source files lie in a publicly accessible directory of the CD and are opened from there. All Raymond has to do is to make it possible (not even easy) for the user to replace the dynapi sources with his own version of the code. He also has to either provide the (readable) source code of Dynapi or provide a link to a download location of Dynapi. The only more serious problem I heard about LGPL is that it permits the user to reverse engineer your application (which is allowed in many european countries anyway). But I can't confirm that point. And, wouldn't you have to ask _all_ contributors before you can relicense the library?
