I disagree: the LGPL is probably the most 'derived' license: because 
developers don't like the stupid restriction on static linking they 
change it..

Too bad as it creates a lot of different LGPL-like license.

That said, I know for sure that the LGPLv2 prevents static linking I 
don't know about the LGPLv3 though.
