The bits of glue code that I wrote to get LZ4 integrated are GPL'd in GRUB and CDDL'd in the Illumos kernel - I'm the original author, so I can release the code under any number of licenses I choose to. As to the LZ4 decompressor, that is 2-clause BSD (aka FreeBSD) written by Yann Collet: http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/ The FreeBSD license is compatible with both GPL and CDDL, so there is no licensing issue there either: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeBSD Cheers, - -- Saso -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlFlY7gACgkQle4gLqwmJMfSMQCffWPtzXYRf1aXlpWyV4pPy+Vz yYIAoJg3Luc+rP65s7ohg3rXOhIqGtUl =2J04 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
