Description
Background:
SLF4J is licensed under the MIT license. Logback is licensed under the LGPL.
SLF4J has an API which logback implements. SLF4J can be used with at least 5 other implementations, some of which are licensed under AL2.0 and some under MIT.
Given that the end-user can pick and choose an implementation and assuming a given Apache Project (AP) only imports SLF4J classes in its source code (java classes):
1) can AP include references to logback in its build scripts?
2) can AP include logback in its standard distribution?
