I believe the claim in that FAQ that:

	In order to link GStreamer [an LGPLv2 library] to Totem [a GPL
	application], you need to use section 3 of the LGPL to convert
	GStreamer to GPL.

is simply wrong, whether it comes from the FSF or not.

But you, Wormtongue, you have done what you could for your true master.  Some
reward you have earned at least.  Yet Saruman is apt to overlook his bargains.
I should advise you to go quickly and remind him, lest he forget your faithful
service.  --Gandalf             John Cowan <cowan at ccil.org>
