Isn't the point of the majority of this document, that nobody, not individual rightsholders, nor the FSF, not even the Linux Kernel Project, has the legal authority or knowledge to interpret the LGPLv2. That fundamentally the LGPLv2 is a legal document and therefore the only people able to create an interpretation of this document are lawyers, and even then, their interpretation is subject to how a judge might decide in a court of law?
So therefore, your beliefs, my beliefs, anyone's beliefs on this are mere conjecture or supposition, and can be considered essentially worthless. Ultimately, how it plays out depends on legal precedence, jurisdiction, judge, hell- the weather on the day of the trial and the specific circumstances in which it is brought up in the court system.
Ergo, isn't it more than a little presumptuous to debate on this matter? To put forth your opinion and opine it as what you believe, and therefore as some degree of possibility or fact, despite there being essentially no reference point unless a lawyer was actually contacted and was able to provide an interpretation?
