RE: AW: License proposal

So here's the pertinent question (as I see it):

"What about the cases where Java code not only _imports_ an LGPL library,
but also writes code that _extends_ LGPL classes?" This latter case is a
common occurrence (by design) in Barracuda, as developers extend Abstract
base classes to implement event handlers.

I really want to believe that LGPL is fine and dandy here, but I also feel
its very important to make the right decision.

Now, if we _can't_ use LGPL, then I think that throws our relationship with
ObjectWeb into question, as they require LGPL for membership. I've emailed
them asking for their take on this issue...
