Sebb commented on VFS-438:
--------------------------
Please note: the JCIFS library is LGPL, so cannot be included in any releases
of VFS.
It is permissible to depend on a LGPL library, but that dependency must be
completely optional, and the product must be usable without it. [1]
A user must be sure that if they download and use VFS, all the code is
available under AL 2.0.
That means that Maven must not automatically download the dependency.
Also, it must be possible for the end user to download the source and build it
without needing to download the LGPL dependency.
