Subject: alsa-lib: src/topology/* is GPL2
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 14:42:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1485265363.30822.7.camel@debian.org> (raw)
Hello,
Today while I worked on the Debian packaging it was brought to my
attention that the license governing src/topology is different to the
rest of the library, and is not LGPL-2.1+ but GPL-2.
Linking in libtopology is the default in alsa-lib, and as I understand
it, mixing LGPL2+ + GPL2 makes the resulting binaries effectively GPL2.
I am sure that was not the intention for obvious reasons. The code is ©
Intel Corporation, so possibly this needs to be escalated there in the
first place.
Jordi
