When you say "downstream users expect Apache-licensed code", ... I thought you
were clear on understanding what my proposed patch would do. Lucene/Solr is
Apache-licensed code and so is my patch. The downstream user would not need
anything more unless they want specific optional functionality (I'd guess 1% of
users). If so they would have to go get JTS themselves, or download the
Lucene/Solr source and run a build which will grab it for them but they still
need to actually put it in the right place for how they choose to run
Lucene/Solr.
I'm pretty sure that I undestand, from your explanation. And I believe it is "okay" policy-wise. I simply think that it is a mistake for a PMC to create any sort of dependency upon code that is more restrictive than the Apache License. In this case, it means somebody must grab LGPL code in order to build our provided tarball. I would strongly advise against such a build dependency, whether the runtime requires it or not.
