There seem to be differing opinions on whether LGPL can safely be distributed with other license types. Here's what Apache says about including LGPL code in Apache projects for example:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/Using_20LGPL_27d_20code
(I've been reading the Lawrence Rosen book Open Source Licensing mentioned on this page. I'd recommend it as required reading for anyone mixing and matching software licenses.)
I personally know of at least two large companies whose lawyers won't let their developers bundle LGPL code into regular commercial product distributions due to open questions in this regard. Apache License, EPL, CPL, BSD, and similar are all fine, but GPL and even LGPL are potentially incompatible with commercial software offerings.
But I'm not a lawyer, so check with yours before deciding anything.
