No Apache projects can contain LGPL or GPL code.

Subject: Why can't tapestry have LGPL code?
I came across a bugzilla issue for tapestry in which
LGPL code needed to be removed from tapestry.
I would like to understand why tapestry cannot have
this code with this type of licensing?
I am interested in this because I am in the process of
writing and releasing the killer tapestry-based app
that incorporates a Identify/authorization server with
a portal/CMS/ecommerce/survey/forum/survey
capabilities. I am not kidding. This baby has 120
database tables.
Thanks for your help.
