Yes, found that too, but I am not sure if the same is true for LGPL.
They speak about "GPL", especially about v3, but LGPL is not
mentioned.

To avoid all that licensing stuff, would you mind if tinyTiM moves to
Apache License 2? As Markus has mentioned, the LGPL vs. ALv2 stuff
seems to be very vague and each party has a different opinion.

In particular, I am interested in a better URI / IRI handling and
currently I extract an IRI implementation from a project that uses
ALv2. So, the extracted lib would also use ALv2 and that lib I want to
use for tinyTiM.

I tried to implement my own URI normalizer and it worked so far, but
handling the whole *IRI* stuff requires more work (Unicode, Punycode
bla bla).

Best regards,
Lars
