Steps to reproduce:

I want to use libusb
http://www.libusb.org/


Actual results:

libusb is under LGPL 2.1 or newer
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html


Expected results:

Other Mozillians (Andreas Gal) started to implement WebUSB
https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/WebUSB
and to my knowledge use libusb too.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=webusb

Is it OK to use libusb in mozilla-central?
As I said in that other bug:

"LGPL works for us as long as the code is in a discrete dynamically-linked library. If you want to do something other than that, at the very least it would require more analysis."

Is that enough information? If not, I'll need more details of how you plan to use the code in conjunction with the existing code (i.e. linking details).
