Hi All,
I have some concerns regarding util-linux-2.21.2 version . As per Yocto-1.3
(danny) recipe,
{{{
LICENSE_${PN}-lscpu = "GPLv3+" <-- util-linux_2.21.2.bb
LICENSE = "GPLv2+ & LGPLv2.1+ & BSD" <-- util-linux.inc
}}}
So as per the above description, only lscpu is GPLv3.
But while looking into the source of util-linux-2.21.2, I found out that
"util-linux-2.21.2/lib/mbsalign.c" is GPLv3 and it is used by following
binaries while building:
{{{
- fdisk
- partx
}}}
So does it mean that the above binaries should also be GPLv3 and need to
take care in util-linux.{bb,inc} ???
Regards,
Gaurang Shastri

I noticed this recently independent of this email! I have contacted the maintainer of util-linux to clarify the license of mbsalign.c as it's used directly by cal and lslocks and included in the common library. As it also turns out the original reason that util-linux was marked as GPLv3 because of lscpu, which is now be changed back to GPLv2. I will keep people posted on this one. We try to do our best to keep the license information up to date and sometimes files under core licenses slip by. As upstreams projects start to use SPDX this kind of problem can be avoided. Thanks for pointing it out.
