Hi all,

Among the modules that will be part of libposix, i.e. that are listed as
gnulib modules for some POSIX functions or headers, the following are
currently under GPL license:

<math.h> functions:

  acosl
  asinl
  atanl
  cosl
  expl
  isfinite
  logl
  sinl
  sqrtl
  tanl

File system related functions, around openat() - discussed in another thread -

  getcwd
  faccessat
  fdopendir
  linkat
  mkfifoat
  openat
  readlinkat
  renameat
  symlinkat
  utimensat

<stdio.h> related:

  fflush

Obsolete modules (could be omitted from libposix):

  free
  memcpy

Other modules:

  futimens
  nanosleep

  getgroups

  strtoimax
  strtoumax

  tmpfile

  tzset

If any module in the library is GPL, the entire library is GPL.

What do you think? Should libposix be LGPL or GPL?

Bruno
