LGPL code in Shindig's swfobject feature?

[Dave <sn...@gmail.com>]

Code in the Shindig features/swfobject feature's onload method appears
to be a copy of LGPL code from this blog:

   http://brothercake.com/site/resources/scripts/onload

Here is the code in Shindig:

	/* Cross-browser onload
		- Based on James Edwards' solution:
http://brothercake.com/site/resources/scripts/onload/
		- Will fire an event as soon as a web page including all of its
assets are loaded
	 */
	function addLoadEvent(fn) {
		if (typeof win.addEventListener != UNDEF) {
			win.addEventListener("load", fn, false);
		}
		else if (typeof doc.addEventListener != UNDEF) {
			doc.addEventListener("load", fn, false);
		}
		else if (typeof win.attachEvent != UNDEF) {
			addListener(win, "onload", fn);
		}
		else if (typeof win.onload == "function") {
			var fnOld = win.onload;
			win.onload = function() {
				fnOld();
				fn();
			};
		}
		else {
			win.onload = fn;
		}
	}

It does to appear to be a verbatim copy of the code, but it is pretty
close and perhaps too close for comfort.

Is this acceptable to Apache legal?

Thanks,

IANAL but seems OK to me.

Sorry, meant to say "does NOT appear to be a verbatim copy, but..."
