Hi Bill IANAL and this is not an official Intel reply. You're not allowed to copy LGPLv2.1 code into an Apache2 library or application, as that triggers the LGPL becoming GPLv.2. You cannot link Apache2 code to GPLv2 code either. But you can link Apache2 code with LGPLv2.1. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
