Actually, the LGPL (v2.1 at least) does differentiate between static
and dynamic linking.
It makes it legal to not ship source to your app as long as you make
the LGPL'd library replaceable.
See section 6.
Alternative to doing that, you can provide source or object files to
your entire application, so it can be relinked.
