Hi,

If I get your meaning correctly, you want to:

- write a JFlex specification file (and put it under LGPL)
- produce a .java file with JFlex from it
- and want to know if you can distribute the .java under LGPL

If that's what you wanted to know, the answer is: yes, you can. (You can do 
anything you want with the stuff produced by JFlex, only the JFlex program 
itself is GPL, its output is completely unrestricted).

If you meant the java.flex example from the JFlex distribution, the answer 
according to the GPL would be no, but I hereby give you an LGPL licence for 
that specification, too ;-)

Best,
Gerwin
