Make sure you read carefully what I say and understand it before
talking about wrong examples :)

libmedia_plugin_webkit.{sp,dll,dylib} are linked STATICALLY with
the Qt libs (as in, linked with .a).

Thus:

 Qt*.a (LGPL) + LL*.o (LGPL+FLOSS) = libmedia_plugin_webkit.so

 ==> LL*.o must be made public (or their source code), or
 libmedia_plugin_webkit.so cannot be shipped.
