Since Lumberjack is LGPL, is there anything special that would need to be done to incorporate it into GNU Classpath?


Anthony Green responded:


The license would have to change slightly.  We use the GPL with the
following exception (blessed by the FSF):

"Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is
making a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms and
conditions of the GNU General Public License cover the whole
combination.

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent
modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under
terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked
independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that
module.  An independent module is a module which is not derived from
or based on this library.  If you modify this library, you may extend
this exception to your version of the library, but you are not
obligated to do so.  If you do not wish to do so, delete this
exception statement from your version."


I don't want to rehash something that is covered in a FAQ, so just point me to the FAQ if there is one. But:

How does the above differ from the LGPL? Concrete examples are especially helpful.
