Are you going to allow the JACK library to be statically linked if it's LGPLed? You can use an LGPLed library in your own program if it's dynamically linked, but you're not allowed to statically link it since it's considered a derivative work. (Or something like that :). I have a feeling that non-free software will _want_ to statically link things in just to avoid problems with installing the library separately, etc etc. It might be an idea to put in a special clause for the JACK library to allow this. -- #ozone/algorithm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - trust.in.love.to.save
