Do you consider a re-licensing to LGPL2.1? It is actually released as GPLv2 only. There's one file with LGPL2.1 only there: the DVB frontend API file (include/linux/dvb/frontend.h, c/c there as dvb-frontend.h). Currently, I've no plans to change it to LGPL2.1. > > For better maintainability in distributions I'd also suggest to hide > non-public symbols like it's done for libv4l*. I'll put it on my TODO list. I won't have any time to work on that during the last 3 weeks, due to the merge window, so, if André or someone else can help with patches, those will be very welcome ;) Regards, Mauro > > Thanks, > Gregor
