License query for libudev in udev-142

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a follow-up to this mail sent by Kay Sievers
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.hotplug.devel/14653] which has
this statement:

"libudev is LGPL, only the daemon and the tools are GPL."

I've checked through the headers for the source code in the udev/lib
directory for udev-142 source tar file.  They are all marked as
licensed under the LGPL.

However, one file, libudev-device-db-write.c, has a #include "udev.h".
 The file udev/udev.h is licensed under the GPL.

Does this affect Kay's statement that libudev is LGPL?

Regards,
Kam-Yung
