The whole tree_kinematics package is licensed using the LPGL, which I think is not necessary. The only true LPGL file is the treeiksolverpos_online.cpp, since it was derived from the KDL's LGP-licensed KDL::TreeIkSolverPos_NR_JL class.
Hence, I suggest to change the licenses to modified BSD for all files, but the treeiksolverpos_online.cpp and also modifiy the manifest accordingly.
Do you agree with this?

Note: In the future I'd like to move this IK solver out of this package and back into KDL. In that way the package becomes completely clean of LGPL stuff.
