Thank you all for your comments. It seems consensus that it is no
problem to depend on LGPL libraries if no binary that links to LGPL'ed
code is distributed. I understand that this consensus is no definite
legal advice, though.
What reasons do people have to use a BSD license over a Public Domain
license, for example with the license text from: <http://www.lemur.com/pd-disclaimers.html
> ? Is the only difference that, with a BSD license, the copyright
notice must be maintained?
