maxmod will be the "derived work" and anyone using will be "work that uses the Library" and get away with supplying a link to the library...?
*only* if maxmod is a dll/shared library.
As soon as you statically link anything, it becomes a "derived work". Doesn't matter if you make a library yourself which statically links (or compiles in) the LGPL'd library, which is then itself statically linked in. At each point of a static linking, it becomes LGPL... and so on... and so on.
That's why they call GPL, viral :-)
