Iy I understand these licenses correctly, you can link against LGPL'ed
code and keep your program closed - only the source of the library
needs to be distributed (v.s.).
With GPL it is differentm though: If you link to GPL'ed code, the
whole program is covered by GPL ! (That's why LGPL was put into life.)
