Koen van de Sande <koen at tibed.net> added the comment:

The XZ Utils website ( http://tukaani.org/xz/ ) states the following:

"The most interesting parts of XZ Utils (e.g. liblzma) are in the public domain. You can do whatever you want with the public domain parts. 

Some parts of XZ Utils (e.g. build system and some utilities) are under different free software licenses such as GNU LGPLv2.1, GNU GPLv2, or GNU GPLv3."

So, liblzma is not the problem. But the license of PylibLZMA is LGPL3.
