Hi, hmm... well, I don't see the benefit of a user to link his own version
(either statically or dynamically) but anyway.
@ASPL: Was this intended when choosing LGPL license or did you choose this
one because it's very common? Why not switch to something like BSD? What I
understand from your web-site your intention is that Vortex library can be
used for all kind of applications be it commercial or not. If this is
true, life can be made easier for all of use, if there are not
restrictions concerning how the lib can be used and linked to an
application.
