and since lazarus is a modified lgpl it probably did not qualify.
Lazarus and FPC are GPL, only the libraries are LGPL with the explicit
permission to link statically.
I've recently read that this exception is actually not really
necessary. The only thing that is required with the regular LGPL and
static linking, is that the unlinked object files of the proprietary
code are made available, so they can be linked against newly compiled
versions of the LGPL part (if a user would want to do so).
Of course, it's a slight inconvenience for the software author that
he has to make these object files available.
