If I'm not mistaken (IANAL), if you provide the LGPL library
commercially (as opposed to free as in *beer*) you need to also
provide the source together with the binary, or an offer to provide it
for no charge. There is a clause allowing you to settle for a link,
but it (IIRC) does not apply for commercial distribution.
Of course, you don't have to GPL your source if the library is only
LGPL...
Also, see the http://www.gnu.org site.
