I'm not an expert either, but I believe that we can distribute an Apache licensed interface to an LGPL library, so long as we do not distribute the library itself and so long as the interface is not a derived work. If the IP in the interface is entirely original, then the copyright holder for the original library has no claim on it and can't stop the interface author from doing whatever they want with their own material... right?
