please do not mix up the topic. we are talking about a collection of js
scripts - the jscalendar - which appears to be licensed under lgpl but
unfortunatelly the author broke that license by himself by adding some odd
sentence to the scripts header info. the subject is the lgpl _violation_,
not the lgpl itself. the jscalendar didnt get readded to our cvs tree yet
because of that violation, not because its lgpl licensed...
