Wikipedia has a comparision between licenses: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licences
LGPL is not permissive, while Apache 2.0 is.
LGPL had certain things copylefted, while Apache permissive for all categories except Trade Mark grant.
LGPL copy-left categories:
- Distribution
- Modification
- Sub-licensing
LGPL linking - going with restrictions.
