I seem to recall that a member of the list (possibly Pavel?) knew the 
author of TLSF and thought that if there was a licensing problem, the 
author may be willing to relicense it under an rtems compatible license.

As an aside, I too would be interested to understand the difference 
between LGPL and GPL + rtems exception.
