Subject: Why are BSD-licensed LZ4 symbols GPL exported?
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:19:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <520D8C4C.7000704@gentoo.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 247 bytes --]

Why are the LZ4 symbols being GPL-exported when the LZ4 code is
BSD-licensed and no substantial changes appear to have been made when it
was merged?

Also, why is the module license GPL when the code itself is clearly
under a BSD license?
