You can link LGPL statically as well, though it puts more obligations (shipping object files) than MPL. I am always amazed how many myths were created around F

  That doesn't work for languages which require all the code at once just for compiling, like C++ (if any of the code involves templates), template Haskell, or Rust (at least, not without heroic efforts).
