See section 4 of the GNU LGPL v3 or section 6 of the GNU LGPL v2.1. I think an EPL-licensed work may be safely linked with an LGPL-licensed library. If you are instead talking about mixing EPL-licensed code with LGPL-licensed code, that is a completely different case. > > > What about LGPL-2.1? Unless I am misinterpreting something, the outcome should be basically the same as with the GNU LGPL v3: linking with an EPL-licensed work is permitted. I hope my quick answer helps.
