I'm not a lawyer, but I've stumbled on the issue #295 again and I ask myself if it was a good idea to link FindBugs (LGPL) code directly to the GPL library (in FormatStringChecker) and distribute that library together with FindBugs.

Later is problematic and may cause legal issues => I plan to remove that dependency for now, to avoid any potential legal issues with SpotBugs redistribution.
