This file is actually not a binary (DLL) at all, it is a small text file with a
misleading name... It contains a few lines of output from some tool, and
presumably has been committed by mistake.

Anyway, just as a theoretical question, even if the file actually was a binary
DLL, but wasn't used at run-time, how would it then break LGPL? This is an
interesting question... Then that it happened to be an executable file would be
just coincidental, from licensing point of view it is would just be a random
binary blob of bits.

(Hmm, and actually, even if it was an actual DLL that was linked with OOo at
run-time, if nobody claimed that particular file was under the LGPL, there would
be no need to provide sources for it, would there? That's the point of the LGPL,
that you can link LGPL code with non-LGPL code, isn't it?)

Anyway, I am not entirely serious, forgive me for the licensing ramblings above.
