    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?
