Some that do have, mention it as GPLv2, and some as GPLv2+ "No copyright" or "UNKNOWN" files should be covered by COPYING licence(LGPL v2). Except: kpartx/ It comes from partx(util-linux), and these files are under "GPL v2" or "GPL v2 or later". Independent binary. libmultipath/prioritizers/ontap.c It's "GPL v2". But it's a plugin. ??? libmultipath/checkers/cciss_tur.c Source says "GPL v2 or later", and: /* * This program originally derived from and inspired by * Christophe Varoqui's tur.c, part of libchecker. */ At libmultipath/checkers/tur.c there is no licence, but it's derived from src/sg_turs.c from sg3_utils. And this one is under "GPL v2 or later". But it's a plugin. ??? libmultipath/memory.c libmultipath/memory.h libmultipath/parser.c libmultipath/parser.h libmultipath/vector.c libmultipath/vector.h These comes from keepalived, and they are under "GPL v2 or later". libmultipath/version.h: "GPL v2 or later". libmultipath/file.c libmultipath/alias.c Source says: /* * significant parts of this file were taken from iscsi-bindings.c of the * linux-iscsi project. And they are under "GPL v2 or later". libmultipath/uevent.c libmultipath/sysfs.c These come from udev, and they are "GPL v2". GPL code can not be mixed with LGPL code. So I guess libmultipath/ files are "GPL v2" ??? multipath/main.c Under "GPL v2 or later". It's linked with libmultipath.so and libmpathcmd.so. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
