Orbeon Forms Licence and third party licences

marc-62
Hi all,

Can I have some explanation about the compatibility of the third party
licences used by Orbeon Forms and the LGPL of Orbeon Forms ?

I have found this link :
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses

Does these restrictions (apache, cpl, mpl) applied to LGPL ?

No, they don't! The GPL is viral upon linking, which is a major reason
of all these incompatibilities.

But the LGPL is not, as it was initially designed for libraries that
could be used with any code, whether free or non-free.
