===========================================================================================================================================================
(The LGPL allows code released under LGPL terms to be combined in certain
specified ways with code released under non-LGPL terms, as for example
when releasing an application using a library consisting of code released
under the LGPL. However the relevant LGPL provisions do not address all
possible ways in which code released under the MPL and code released under
the LGPL could be combined to form a larger work. In particular, when
linking Mozilla source files directly into a library released under the
LGPL, e.g., to extend the functionality of that library, the effect of the
LGPL terms, and any potential license incompatibilities that might arise,
appear to be similar to those associated with the GPL.)
