LGPLThe LGPL v2.1 is ineligible from being a Category B license (a category that includes the MPL, CPL, EPL, and CDDL) primarily due to the restrictions it places on larger works, violating the third license criterion. Therefore, LGPL v2.1-licensed works must not be included in Apache products, although they may be listed as system requirements or distributed elsewhere as optional works.
