-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, I just ran some compliance tools on multipath and the results weren't very appealing in regard to licensing and copyright information. The standard COPYING file mentions LGPL v2. On the other hand, the majority of the source code has no license mentioned in its header. Some that do have, mention it as GPLv2, and some as GPLv2+ Please see full license/copyright check below. rrs@learner:~/.rrs-home/Community/Packaging/multipath-tools (master)$ licensecheck -r .
