4. If PCRE is embedded in any software that is released under the GNU
   General Purpose Licence (GPL), or Lesser General Purpose Licence (LGPL),
   then the terms of that licence shall supersede any condition above with

seems pretty clear.  The trouble is that libgcj is neither GPL nor
LGPL, is it?
