  and other libraries would be possible.

+ Lately we discussed that it might be possible that the PMC is able to vote to add LGPL stuff to a project as long as the following rule will be fullfilled:
+ 
+ == Rules==
+ 
+  * ask the original library author to change its license or provide a double licensing model
+  * look for an alternative implementation with an ASF friendly license
+  * the build script BY DEFAULT excludes java classes depending on LGPL
+  * a special parameter will enable building these classes
+  * its not allowed to bundle the LGPL library with any distribution\\(nightly, release)
+  * the function the library gains from the LGPL stuff is fully optional
+  * a bridging api (which can reside within the same project - so can be hosted at apache) will be used to access these LGPL stuff to clearly show its optional behaviour
+  * a vote for adding a LGPL dependency to a project on pmc@
+ 
+ The technical stuff how to setup the build has to be figured out.
