Of course it's possible to keep the separate license but then you have to
explain why an integral part of frogr not intended to be used externally needs
its own license. If everything goes into an application licensed under GPLv3,
why do you need LGPLv3 code in a separate directory? This just looks like a
project bundled with the tarball. But that's only my humble opinion. Let's FPC
have a look at this. Mario B. would you ask for a bundled library exception?

No, sorry for the confusion. Linking object files directly or putting them in a
static library and link the .a file doesn't make a big difference. The question
is: Do we have a library that could be used outside the project (and is
promoted a s such) or is it just a module exclusively related to the main
project.
