The library is released under LGPL, however if I use it to generate changes in a program I created under the LGPL, can I release the output (the jdiff javadoc) under the GFDL? Is this legal? Basically, can your LGPL program's generated output on my LGPL program be released by me under the GFDL? Thanks!

Good question. Reading the Wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License I think that the JDiff output should fit with the GFDL. As of 2001, Sun didn't approve of people linking to their own Javadoc output on their webservers (IIRC) but I never heard that they actually sent cease and desist letters, and come to think of it how can you order people to stop linking to a URL? Anyway, were there any specific use cases that you think might be a problem? (none occur to me)
