Andrew,

Sounds like all we need is a suitably precise Smalltalk-centric 
definition of "library" and "calling code"?

For LGPL (like GLORP in particular), perhaps we can "modify" the LGPL 
license by explicitly defining what those two terms mean.

So, for LGPL, what would you consider to be good candidate definitions 
for those two terms?
