Re: LGPL question

More interesting question. Let's say we have some open source non-GPL
application, which uses LGPL-library. 

1. Is such application legal?
2. Can LGPL library source be distibuted together with source of the
application if it's unmodified? Same if it's amended to reach
compatibility (say, makefiles change, etc.)?

I remember that KDE had this sort of problems, but I don't remember what
was the resolution. 

I tried to read LGPL and understand what it means there, but it seems to
me too much legalese, I couldn't get it right.
