New Ditto.
I missed that one.

I thought that you would only have to release the source for the modified LGPL library.

Okay, suppose, in theory, that you have two companies.

Company A modifies the LGPL'ed library and releases full source.

Company B writes a proprietary app that uses the modified LGPL'ed library.

Would Company B still be required to release the source for their app?

I don't see that.

So, what is the difference when there is one company instead of two?

One company, two company, doesn't matter.

They shipped them linked together.

That is the issue.

Cheers,
