Yeah, I don't know. I allways hated the licencing stuff. Wish there were just two licences. However, we allready depend on some LGPL licences and I have seen a lot of other Apache 2 style projects do that too. I can't imagine this becomming an actual problem. But if someone would be so kind to explain the details/ in-outs that would be nice.
It would really suck if when you choose for Apache 2, you couldn't use LPGL at all, and if you choose LGPL, you couldn't use Apache 2 at all. I'm pretty sure I speak for 95% percent of the programmers if I say I'm really not that into the details; as a customer I want to know whether I can ship it with commercial projects, and - maybe - whether I can ajust the source and ship it.
