With MPL and LGPL you are officially obliged to donate fixes to the relevant
packages back. The (L)GPL with exception bit absolves you from that.

linking and then distributing it. IOW the one that does the final linking
(and the subsequent distribution) takes
on the obligations.

Only if you distribute source.
