I would appreciate the clarification. The libstdc++v3 has the same
problem with inline functions (and template code) and that's why they
doesn't use LGPL, they use a GPL with a Runtime Library Exception.
Quote from FAQ:
2.3. How is that different from the GNU {Lesser,Library} GPL?
The LGPL requires that users be able to replace the LGPL code with a
modified version; this is trivial if the library in question is a C
shared library. But there's no way to make that work with C++, where
much of the library consists of inline functions and templates, which
are expanded inside the code that uses the library. So to allow people
to replace the library code, someone using the library would have to
distribute their own source, rendering the LGPL equivalent to the GPL.
