That's not strictly true. According to my reading of the LGPL, you
can avoid infection by either providing a link kit or dynamically
linking. It's not perfect (particularly considering the state of
libc4 and libc5; perhaps libc6 will be better) but it's a long ways
from having to distribute the sources.
