New Linking other licenses with LGPL code
For example, can code released under the BSD or Artistic license be linked with LGPL code?

I'm looking at the GNUStep stuff, which is LGPL. I have another bit of code that is BSD license. And finally, I have a sourceforge project which was started with the Artistic license (and you can't change it after the fact) where I was thinking of releasing anything I do for this project.

What are my options?
Regards,

use the other pieces as dependacies/prerequisites to the piece/module you are building and simply list where to go get them rather than trying to maintain it on your site. Amply document how those pieces fit in with your stuff.

"If you want to meet a group of people who have a profound distrust of, and hostility toward, our legal system, don't waste your time on political radicals; interview a random selection of crime victims, and you will probably find that they make the former group look like utopian idealists by comparison."

New BSD, Artistic, & GPL

Non-advertising BSD, and Artistic, are both compatible with GPL,\r\naccording to the FSF.

\r\n\r\n

See their extensive discussion of licenses [link|http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html|here], which\r\ndiscusses among other things, GPL compatibility. Both BSD (as "modified\r\nBSD) and "The License of Perl" (Artistic) are listed as\r\n"GPL-compatible".

IANAL, TINLA
