Not correct.  LGPL code may be linked to other source without having the 
viral effect of requiring that other source also be published as open 
source.  LGPL _does_ require that if any changes are made to the source 
under that license, then those changes (and the original sources) must 
be open and available either as LGPL or as GPL.
