If my application is written against slf4j but I plug in logback at runtime as the logging implementation doesn't this somehow imply that my application is linking against logback and as such the LGPL applies? Gili Ralph Goers wrote:

Ceki,
What is the legal implication of using Logback through slf4j? Does this limit our obligations to slf4j's MIT license or does any aspect of logback's LGPL license pass through?
Thank you, Gili
Pass through to what? Any application that uses SLF4J is not a derivative of Logback and isn't impacted by Logback's use of LGPL. OTOH, if you write your own Logback components those would be derivative works and would be impacted.
