I agree with this - there's a lot of LGPLed java stuff out there that isn't 
rendered useless by its license. I have no deeper insight into the 
motivations of the apache-group, but I can imagine that they like the idea of 
having the opportunity to turn something into a commercial product - so 
_they_ might have their troubles with LGPL.

So - as long as we don't want to be part of jakarta, I still opt for LGPL.
