There is a project called NetFPGA that has HDL code for various Ethernet uses in an FPGA. The project is listed as LGPL. From a software perspective, my understanding is that if you dynamically link a LGPL library you can use it in a commercial application. How would this work in the case of an FPGA design? The concept of dynamic linking does not really exist in the hardware design.
If I use the LGPL HDL in a larger design would I have to release the source of the whole project?
If I edit the LGPL HDL and use it in a larger design would I have to release the source of the LGPL HDL and/or the whole project?

The aim of the LGPL license is that people can replace the LGPL code in a larger project, without requiring that the complete source code of the larger project is disclosed.
I am not familiar with how HDL works for FPGA design, but the LGPL requires that
- you release the modified LGPL HDL code under the LGPL license
- you release the rest of the full project in a format that makes it possible to re-create your FPGA design with another version of the LGPL code. This format does not need to be human-readable or source code.
- you give recipients of the FPGA design the right to replace the LGPL portion of it.
