Exactly. Though each source file can apply different licenses, the final
application binary is being linked against files having been compiled from
LGPL'ed sources. Therefore, the final binary application is LGPL'ed, though it's
sources are licensed BSD.

=> I.e. the binary package must be shipped/relicensed under the [L]GPL.
