As for static linking, there is a real technical problem if application
is not a freeware.
I do not think so: you just have to provide the .o files, and you are
done. I do not see problems with closed source applications providing .o
files (I have already seen someone doing this).
Moreover, the object code is platform-dependent in
most cases.
As the executable file is.
Therefore really there is no as good as legal way to link
LGPL libraries statically with a non (L)GPL'ed application.
In my opinion, this is really false: from a legal point of view, static
linking is exactly like dynamic linking. If distributing an executable
file is ok for you, why isn't it ok to distribute the .o files? They are
binaries, as the executable file, and they are as platform dependent as
the executable file.
