GNU LGPL is a public domain license.
Here is a quote from the FLTK documentation that may be sufficient for your
friend (who, I assume, is a commercial developer who hides the use of
licensed software in his products, right? Why would he not want to include
the license text somewhere in an aplication?)
" You do not have to provide a copy of the FLTK license with programs that
are linked to the FLTK library, nor do you have to identify the FLTK license
in your program or documentation as required by section 6 of the LGPL.
However, programs must still identify their use of FLTK. The following
example statement can be included in user documentation to satisfy this
requirement:
[program/widget] is based in part on the work of the FLTK project
(http://www.fltk.org)."
