You must ship the source for the library.  You must ship the source OR
object for the work that uses the library.  The term and/or is
interpreted by logicians as an inclusive or, which makes the "and"
redundant except to distinguish it from an exclusive or.

(It has been a while since I took logic, so please forgive any errors.)
