Pier,
The end of the thread on cocoon-dev...http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?[EMAIL PROTECTED] g&msgId=625635 We came to the conclusion (I believe) that we don't _want_ it.
Agree. Much better truly open linkables.
An interesting read...Roughly the whole thread: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SearchList?listId=&listName=cocoon-dev%40 xml.apache.org&searchText=LGPL&defaultField=subject&Search=Search
<different subject/> I am not sure of Steffano's assertion that a Cocoon block can be GPL from the last of that thread.. If it does an import of org.apache.anything it is in trouble from my understanding of RMS's typed GPL wisdoms (pasted below from http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses ) :
"The Apache License, Version 1.1 <http://www.apache.org/LICENSE-1.1>. This is a permissive non-copyleft free
software license with a few requirements that render it incompatible with
the GNU GPL. We urge you not to use the Apache licenses for software you
write. However, there is no reason to avoid running programs that have
been released under this license, such as Apache."
As far as I know this covers any alleged GPL work importing org.apache.* and any Apache 1.1 licensed work importing anything that is GPL. I appreciate we have our own stand in this (the link to which I have lost), that basically says we can't see the problem and want clarification from the FSF.

With respect to LGPL, I am proceeding carefully with "use with great care". As it happens the LGPL lib in question is proving difficult to use...
