[vorbis] Vorbis licensing...

[Pedriana, Paul]

I mean to say:
   The first seems to say that you must used 
   vorbis libraries as *dynamically* linked libraries.

One guy said this:

   >>You can distirbute a dll with vorbis in 
   >>it, but you have to make sure source to 
   >>that dll is available (if it's the normal 
   >>vorbis dll's you can just point them to us :)
   >> ...
   >>With the LGPL you may use the LGPLed code

   >>the LGPLed code is a dll, the DLL must be 
   >>LGPL, but the rest of the app that links 
   >>in the DLL does not need to be.

Another guy said this:

   >>That is exactly correct.  You may link 
   >>against library version of the object 
   >>(static or dynamic) and you may modify 
   >>the library, although you need to make 
   >>the changes to the library publically available. 

These statements do not seem consistent with 
each other to me. The first seems to say that you 
must used vorbis libraries as statically linked
libraries. The second says that you can link against
the static or dynamic libraries.

Again I ask for clarification.
