Re: Licensing

[Jace Krull <krull balatech com>]

There was a very detailed thread on this subject not too long ago. Check 
the archives for the LGPL topic (within the last two months). The net as 
I understood it was, if you supply a dynamically linked executable, then 
there's no obligation to supply source, or even object files. The key is 
that someone can update/patch/hack their GTK+ library and your program 
will automatically link to the new library. License satisified.

Caveat: I'm not a lawyer, so please don't take my word for it.
