And your point is?
On other Unixoid systems you can link against BSD-license libc code, or
some-random-proprietary-license code from HP or Sun or whomever. glibc
doesn't have a monopoly in that sphere. But mlw is offering code that
will *only* run against a single implementation that is LGPL licensed.
That makes it effectively LGPL.
