Would it be legally acceptable to link also to non-Apache licensed stuff?

IANAL ...but I reckon that should be ok. Problem is - mocks are still not ok ...so it does not buy us much.
...I still don't get why mocks are a problem - this license stuff sucks so badly *grrrr*
In order to create a mock you have to copy a specific class interface that someone designed.
I don't think that this solved the problem. If you download e.g. some LGPL library you will use it somewhere in your code, otherwise it is useless. The problem is the *use* IIUC ...
To be on the safe side, we will have to wait for real blocks as they can cut all direct dependencies (--> one block only has a requirement on a block interface and not on a block implementation.)
