Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-7508:
---------------------------------------

I dislike this lawyerly stuff but it is important that we do this correctly.  
Avoiding it or just using known ok ways (we've been using excludes files here) 
seems the safest way.  Is there a precedent elsewhere with LGPL+Apache 
compatibility?  Should we ping apache legal? 

Here's the rules I found with a little bit of search. 
http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html
There were a few other suggesting they are compatible but these were from 
non-authoritative sources.

Technically, I'd be satisfied if we used the workaround.  (the description of 
that project is quite humorous!).  This should just be a pom inclusion right?  
It seems like it would eliminate the possibility of including the lgpl jars 
from our tarballs.
