I have an interesting poll.

Does anyone know of a major java vendor who bundles LGPL software with
their major products? IBM? Oracle? Sun? BEA?

Any Java Application Server? Portals? Mobile Phone Vendors?
Any IDE? Any Java Database? Any Application Vendors, e.g. Bug tracking
systems, Wikis, CRMs.

It would be interesting to see what others have done in this area?
[Apart from all using Apache, Mozilla, IBM, etc community licenses.]

The vendors (and their customers) that we can't list are the ones who
may be reluctant about using XOM.

Cheers, Paul.

John Reynold's java.net blog pointed me to this post from the FSF about the
LGPL and Java that clarifies, hopefully for the last time, that merely
importing, invoking, or inheriting from an LGPL class does not infect code
with the LGPL.
