I know this is tedious if you've been through this, but I don't see how the LGPL is viral (the GPL is = definitely viral, by design). If all you are doing is restributing an LGPL package without = modification, I just don't see how it affects your license. As I understand it, the = LGPL and the ASL are pretty much the same, until you modify and redistribute. -- Howard M.
