Dear Thomas De Schampheleire,

uclibc: there is no license specific in the script itself, so by
default it's the same license as the entire project, i.e LGPLv2.1+

glibc: the header comment in nss/getent.c is clear: it's under
LGPLv2.1+.

See above :)

Which license text file should be used? In neither of the uclibc/musl
or glibc cases we have access to the license text. I can include a
COPYING file in package/getent/, but that's going to be 100x times
larger than the getent script :)

Thanks,

Thomas
