I don't think the LPPL works at all for us. The preamble says: "You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of The Program. Distribution of only part of The Program is not allowed."
Well, as I already wrote in another post, it's not really clear what "The Program" is in the context of the hyphenation files. The case I examined had *only* the hyphenation file in the directory the URL pointed to, with no visible affilations to any other files from either the context nor the file itself (did not mention "..is part of <The Program>" or something. I concluded "The Program" is in this case the hyphenation file itself. Also I think the preamble refers to *unmodified* files. Derived works seems not to be covered there.
The important part for us is that the LPPL is not viral, with the exception of the filename prohibition. In particular it allows distributing derived work (read: binary FOP distributions) without the code. BTW we should track down and delete all binary distribution containing the compiled hyph file from the three GPL sources. The source distributions are not an immediate risk and can be kept.
