Just because you build a static binary on a mandrake machine, it doesn't mean you are compiling against LGPL's libraries. I don't know who wrote the files cblobfld.cpp etc, do you? seems to me the directory "mdk90" may be descriptive of nothing in particular, simply a directory name the author used because his machine is a mandrake machine, or perhaps its nfs mounted on a mandrake 90 box. What is noticeable is that the filesnames are in a sub-directory of fcc/src, and I would have thought that might indicate that the files were within the developers own source tree. In other words there seems to be nothing in what you posted to support the view that the binary is linked against LGPL software! -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
