Hi Mike,
Thanks, that's exactly the info we were looking for.
I'm not a full member of the steering committee, so I don't have
permission to edit that page, but I'm hoping someone who does will
edit it.
After the edit is done, I'll update the wiki at
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Science_WG/Benefits

At the risk of being completely pedantic, the LGPLv2.1 topic is
actually a feature of the Eclipse Science top-level project, not
the working group. Here is the resolution passed by the Board in
February 2017 (
minutes).
You might actually want to add a copy of this resolution to the
top-level
project charter, with a link back to the minutes to make
this easier for people to find and understand.
Approval of the Science Top-Level Project to
allow the distribution of LGPL v2.1 dependencies
Mike Milinkovich introduced a proposal to allow the
distribution of LGPL v2.1 dependencies
under the Science top-level project, the related materials for
which is attached as Appendix B.
Mike indicated this was originally discussed at the October,
2016 board meeting, and at that time
it was requested that the IP Advisory Committee discuss
whether there were licensing concerns
related to this request; Mike reported the Committee had no
concerns. The Board unanimously
approved the following resolution:
RESOLVED, The Board unanimously approves the use
of the GNU Lesser
General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 for dynamically
linked Java-language thirdparty
components distributed by projects under the Science
Top-Level Project. The EMO
will provide guidance to the projects to ensure that
downstream consumers are aware that
any such Eclipse Science projects contain LGPL 2.1-licensed
components.

Apologies for the slow response. Torkild was
correct: The main goal was to address the licensing issues
around dual licensing with a number of open sources licenses
and to address LGPL dependencies. Our TLP has a different
outlook on licenses than the other TLPs.
