The text above is a proposed policy of the Apache foundation.

It is irrelevant with regard to rights and obligations of code licensed
under the Apache license.

You can use, bundle and ship Apache licensed code together with LGPL

No ASF "proposal" or "policy" text can restrict you to do so. The only
relevant texts are the 2 licenses.
