There is no problem combining ASL and LGPL into a larger work (as long as the distribution requirements of both parts are respected of course). But currently the "official apache rules" still don't allow for it. But we are working on changing that because so many apache projects want to depend on LGPL projects like Hibernate, FreeChart, OpenOffice.org document filters, etc. And the legal committee has a proposal to make it happen that will hopefully be ratified by the Apache board during the next ApacheCon. We are working under the assumption that all legal problems will be cleared up in time. (L)GPL and ASL compatibility being top priority of course :) Cheers, Mark
