Hi all,

I'm planning to write a media library that is going to use some stuff from xine-lib.
I intended to release this library under the LGPL license, but then I saw that the Xine libraries are released under GPL. So my question is can I release code using GPLed stuff under LGPL?

Best Regards,
Sasho
