For the record - it's not a problem to mix and match ASL, GPL, and LGPL in your own applications. Apache itself does not allow non- ASL'd code to be released from its codebases directly because that changes whether something is wholly ASL'd or not. It's best to keep the code distributed by Apache to be purely ASL for legal and perceptual reasons.

It does cause some headaches with projects like Tapestry that require non-ASL'd libraries, but in the end the goal is have confidence that the binaries you get from apache.org are ASL'd and if you mix it with other licenses that is your business and for you and your lawyer to discuss :)

I came across a bugzilla issue for tapestry in which
LGPL code needed to be removed from tapestry.

I would like to understand why tapestry cannot have
this code with this type of licensing?

I am interested in this because I am in the process of
writing and releasing the killer tapestry-based app
that incorporates a Identify/authorization server with
a portal/CMS/ecommerce/survey/forum/survey
capabilities.  I am not kidding.   This baby has 120
database tables.

Thanks for your help.
