I'm not sure how your problem is actually a restriction. Suppose, I
as a developer wish to distriibute at application the uses the library
in question. To distribute my application, I simply distribute my
code and the code for the library--thus, the library is still a
library. Now, any user can take the two parts (of the binary nerve
gas, which themselves are perfectly harmless, excuse me but the
metaphor seems just too apt), merge them together and viola (sp?) a
useful application (totally toxic).
Hope this helps,
