Sorry for going off on a tangent -and pl ignore if its annoying:-
Can someone elaborate on the impact of GPL if one is to use lGPL'ed code 
without modifying it. i.e. if the kernel or library is GPL'ed and a 
module is developed on top of it and sold, does the GPL require one to 
give out the src code for the developed module too?
