Yes, that Inner Net license is acceptable.  The short justification is
that it's acceptable for glibc so it's OK for GNU projects anyway.

The long justification, if you're interested, is that once you assume
the LGPL it imposes no real restrictions other than what the LGPL
itself imposes so it's logically equivalent to the empty set (other
than the fact that that the notice itself must be preserved, which is
OK as per the LGPL).  As usual I should say that I am not a lawyer and
this is not legal advice.
