I noticed FOX added an addendum to the LGPL allowing static builds with
proprietary code so long as you hadn't modified the original FOX source.
For most general purpose programs that probably isn't an issue, but if
you're doing a size sensitive application (such as in an embedded
environment) that could be a serious advantage.
