I think we need to find more I don't remember exactly when it happened but I know it was a general shift in the FSF to change the language for LGPL to mean "lesser" rather than "library" in the early 2000s. The thinking at the time was that "library" implied the license would only apply to shared libraries due to the wording, when really the intent was to be more BSD-ish. In this case, though, the question isn't relevant because the change to the license is actually the GPLv2 one which contains a reference to LGPL by name (formerly library but now lesser). The current text in Kai's update is the text that comes from the FSF website when you look at the GPLv2 license. The package and the license is GPLv2, though, not LGPL, so the semantics of that change don't matter. In general I agree that Kai's commit log (and subsequent follow-up) aren't sufficient at all, but I was feeling bad about all of the back-and-forth with Wind River's China office lately and thought I'd go the extra distance to do his research for him and merge the patch if possible. -J. >=20 > >=20 > > --=20 > > -Joe MacDonald. > > :wq >=20 --=20 -Joe MacDonald. :wq --vEao7xgI/oilGqZ+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJV+XDnAAoJEEn8ffcsOfaWaSoIAMhV5N+B33tVwQguYVOjqted WgAQSNNVBMw7vdt5TIzD7+qlyzdpgYbHUZtYvnPCqVTvJ7SQCHv4wrYOV7fVw1wT oNAl1CiolwpyGQE675HvMN/E/xPviCQ9TONfXfmkUBH9QooZ4RPc0HrAMUhl/h8E juPoKDGAnGw9XMuy+RWV4ueaGTEtGeZZb55MZUuLZ0Q8dIoH1+QtWBiXdxT7rikN 6y0kZh1VPfbXQfrfzgtBW+nKOAxlG9ryhNoT2sXRVYwW5sfmUp/w5yLjUQmKIz6+ J5om+l56QZsMQG/UnuqVZ57alPOXa5vuQTBlwIP5JfJL2SxgQQliswrsmUp+9ck= =uQzy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vEao7xgI/oilGqZ+--
