There may be a real legal problem here, but I don't think it matters much. An LGPL loophole via naming in licenses--whatever. I'm sure there are resources available to license or rewrite whatever you need if that falls through. The incredibly sucky outcome is that Chrome ships patent-encumbered "open web" features, just like Apple. That is reprehensible. -- Robert Sayre "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time."
