Z:gnu-www-ja-lgpl-java--f367ed-In July of 2003, Slashdot publ/en

In July of 2003, Slashdot published a story claiming that I had claimed that the LGPL did not function as intended in the case of Java. This story was based on a misunderstanding of a response to a question sent to licensing@gnu.org, and many attempts to clarify the issue in the Slashdot story did not get across. I have received numerous questions about the story since, via both licensing@gnu.org and personal email.
