Potentially appealing too, is the license, which is *L*GPL.

However, it is not clear to me if with LGPL, you are required to  
dynamically link only or if you also can use static library link without  
fears. I just had a look at the Wikipedia entry, which is no more clear  
than my mind:

What does that mean ? Which sources are you required to provide ? The one  
of the library or the one of the application statically linked to it ?
