You meant to say that you hope that the license collisions are resolvable.

The current license is not LGPL compatible due to the "no making money" clause. The "docs" credit is also not LGPL compatible. However, the author also says:

If you ask I will very likely allow other types of distribution.
(have already had questions of it as a bonus on eBay auctions.
ask, and you will likely get permission)
I'm just a kind of control freak, so I want to know what's going on.

which gives hope that if you ask him nicely, he will be willing to relicense the relevant parts as LGPL.

p.s.
The "no commercial distribution" runs counter to item 1 of the open source definition (http://opensource.org/docs/definition.php). This means that this license is not an open source license. One has, of course, every justification for saying "so what", but I just wanted to mention this.
