For that reason, there have long been alternative C libraries for embedded systems, for example newlib, first developed by Cygnus.

This is already an issue with LGPL v2 Posted Jan 3, 2008 5:46 UTC (Thu) by stevenj (guest, #421) [Link] Just as for the GPLv2, it is debatable whether this clause has any teeth when there is a hardware-signature mechanism that prevents replacement code from working. Certainly, the FSF was worried enough about this "Tivoization" loophole to explicitly address it in v3 of the license.
