This is an horrible oversight. libsensors was originally under GPL, but I changed the license to LGPL with the approval of all authors and copyright holders: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/LibsensorsLicense So starting with version 3.2.0, the only license for libsensors is LGPL. I'll fix the documentation immediately, thanks for pointing out my mistake. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
