Hi,

a) If using means linking, then it's derivative work. That's clearly 
stated in the GPL afaik.

b) Yes, some projects release their libs as LGPL, but as previously 
stated by the core devs, this is not the case for Pidgin (and they 
explained the why too).

So to sum up: Nothing new. We're just discussing facts any of us already 
knows. I guess we'll end it here
