I was wrong! (It happens)

The FSF says:

Section 6 of LGPLv2.1 says "You must give prominent
notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it...."  So,
when I read the fourth exception of FLTK's license, I think the first
paragraph exempts the licensor from many of the requirements of section 6,
and then the rest goes on to explain that they're not exempt from this
particular requirement, perhaps a little more verbosely than is necessary.
The example given is, sure enough, one way to comply with this requirement,
though not the only way.

It might be helpful to bear in mind that the original BSD advertising
clause required you to publish an acknowledgment in advertisements, and not
just the software itself.  The example provided as a way to comply with
FLTK's license -- a statement in the user documentation -- suggests to me
that they do not intend to impose on your advertising.

*****
Or, in very simple terms, fltk's license is GPL-Compatible. Lifting FE-Legal.
