[lug] LGPL question

[Michael J. Hammel]

Something that I can never remember the rules to:

Can you link a static library that is LGPL to a non-free program without
the license "infecting" the non-free program?  Does the library have to
be shared in order for the program to be linked to a LGPL library (I
know doing this with a shared library works fine - that's why libc can
be used with proprietary apps)?  If it must be a shared library, can you
dlopen() an LGPL static library from within a non-free program without
the LGPL affecting that program?
