See section 5 & 6 in particular for exact terms.

fine, now you're on same page as rest of us. It simply doesn't matter for the rest of the software if the LGPL part is under LGPL or any other license. LGPL creates a license for the FOSS part, NOT for the software linking in that FOSS part. You however started arguing about midgard being LGPL and THUS Nokia could publish closed blobs. Which is kinda true for a "otherwise they couldn't" but nobody ever doubted that Nokia had the right to publish or sell or nuke or eat that stuff. It's about the community/general-public being allowed to use that stuff without Nokia's consent, which for sure is true for midgard, and according to my POV also is true for the PHP scripts techstaff wrote to replace the Nemein scripts. About logos, please refer one of my previous posts which clearly shows they are CC and not proprietary like you claimed they were. For the rest see definition of "content" and "skin" in wiki, I lnked to it in one of my previous posts. Nobody said content=executable-code
