Yes, that's unfortunately a problem, see http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x for details. > Or I can contribute with my code even though it depends on jaudiotagger? Is there some way to avoid the LGPL dependency? Alternatively, would the author of jaudiotagger consider relicensing the library to a more permissive license? Finally, if neither of these options works, you can always make your code available somewhere else (Github, Google Code, etc.) and we can instruct people who can use LGPL dependencies to find your code there.
