Smith, McCoy dixit:

>Here’s what FSF says about incompatibility:  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2

Aaaah, so “APL” means “Apache”… d’oh.

>It discusses GPLv3 (compatible) & GPLv2 (incompatible) but not LGPL.

There is nothing to discuss there. Both Apache and LGPL only
apply to the individual parts of the larger work that they
cover, so there’s no problem between those two.
