+        <p>The logback project is distributed under the LGPL license
+        in order to emphasize the fact that it is a related but

+        
+        <p>Given that Java v7 will be distributed under GPL, we expect
+        GPL and LGPL to become even more prevalent in the Java world.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>In short, LGPL is a reasonable and widely-accepted
+        license. Let well alone.
