Although the Lesser General Publi c Li cense is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with th e Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

c. You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all thi rd parties und er the terms of this License. d. If a facility in the mod ified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facili ty is invoked, then you must m[...]

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that i s a derivative of the Library (because it contains porti ons of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by thi s License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.[...]

materials to be distributed need not incl ude anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that comp onent itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license rest[...]
