Could somebody please clarify the LGPL case? Jakarta Lucene project has a feature/patch in the queue, and the contributed code includes LGPL code:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10340
Can we accept this contribution, or do we have to reject it because of the licence?
Please e-mail directly, I am not on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You cannot take LGPL code and relicense it as ASL. If the original author is donating the code, he/she can donate it under a separate license.
Also this is something you probably should be taking to your PMC to address. They (we... hopefully all jakarta commmitters eventually join the jakarta PMC) are responsible for IP issues on jakarta projects and can discuss the specifics of your import.
