That is what the LGPL exists for... > Requirement to provide GPLed part source on request still > applays. In our case GRASS shell scripts use g.parser, and so GPL code becomes part of the resulting program. The independence/derivative product test is if the bundled program would still fully function if the GPL things were removed. If you bundle dependent code with GPL and ship it, the entire thing must be GPL compatible. If you bundle non-dependent code with GPL code and ship it, then the operating-system clause applies which says it's ok.
