The concrete requirements for LGPL compliance should be directly
addressed in the body of the LGPL licenses document. I believe you need
to include a copy in both the source tree and any system documentation.

Questions about LGPL/GPL compliance should be sent to licensing fsf org,
but please do read their FAQ first, because Dave Turner is just one guy
struggling under a flood of queries.

I suspect that further discussion of this topic should probably be
handled in email with FSF, rather than here on the Gnome XML list.
