   ALLOW_GPL_COMPONENTS is for both: GPL and LGPL:
   
   ```
   config ALLOW_GPL_COMPONENTS
        bool "Use components that have GPL/LGPL licenses"
        default n
   ```
   
   from ASF perspective both are in the same category: 
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x
   We don't use uClibc as linked library but compile its code directly and 
there are some controversy about object-oriented programming and LGPL-licensed 
code (which was solved in LGPL v3, but this code is LGPL v2.1), so I don't know 
if LGPL has any meaning here at all.
   
   I think it's safer to keep copyleft licenses as one option, but maybe 
someone who knows something more about licenses has a different opinion.
