Because as I said in my other post, I've Been There, Done That, and
Didn't Get The Answer.  Your confidence is misplaced.

Those claims are, unfortunately, not legally definitive.  If you
actually go over the LGPL with a fine toothed comb, you do arrive at
more concerns.  Then you wonder how on the ball the SDL guys are about
the implications of the LGPL.  What we really want is a legally
definitive website, not the SDL "Sure, this will work" website.
