[DJW:] Last phrase in:
 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a
"work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing
portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your
choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the
customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

E.g. Acrobat Reader is dynamically linked (see other reply and note
clause 6(b) is reachable, but has no modification clauses).
