The problem is L&F. Which means 'look and feel' :) LGPL isn't fine if you statically link OR #include any GTK headers. That makes your binary a derived work. It says so in the LGPL licence. So your *source* may not be LGPL, but the resultant program is. Then this clause applies, and it is anything but what is required for a commercial situation, where typically 'totally unencumbered' is the only viable position: 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License.
