IANAL, either, but two observations:
(1) with respect to Nic's code, for which he has copyright control
his clear and unambiguous public statement of how the license
is to be interpreted should be considered legally binding.
(2) in the specific case of an LGPL library that implements a
standard java interface, e.g, JDBC driver, JavaMail or JNDI
service provider, etc., there is no import. No reference
to the LGPL code at all, only to the standard Java API.
I won't debate other possible viral aspects, since they are not germaine to
circumstances I have currently vested interests in. If Nic has references
to clarify the FSF position on either of the above matters, that would be
great.
