Yes, this is what I remembered concerning LPGL.
But it's not the problem at hand. swank-clojure is GPL.
I'm a commiter of clojure-dev, willing to embed swank-clojure clojure
files in the plugin : it will be distributed with the other files. And
dynamically loaded when launching a clojure JVM from the eclipse
instance of a user.

So swank-clojure will not be hard-linked (at compilation time) to any
of clojure-dev code. Nor will it be dynamically linked to any clojure-
dev code at runtime : it will be dynamically linked to the clojure
environment launched by clojure-dev on behalf of the user.

But, it will be distributed along with clojure-dev's code (which is
under EPL license).

Will I violate the GPL, if I do that ?
