I've just been trying to use getopt-gnu in a project, only to hit
license confusion. The (LGPLv2+) project is already using a bunch of
gnulib modules, which are all listed in a bootstrap file. Adding
getopt-gnu to this list results in an incompatible license error. The
module's license is given as 'LGPL'. The bootstrap script calls
gnulib-tool with '--lgpl=2'.
Firstly, could the license please be updated to 'LGPLv2+', which I
believe is probably the intention.
Secondly, the license headers of lib/getopt.c and lib/getopt1.c seem to
be GPLv3, which doesn't sound right. Do they also need to be updated?
Thanks,
Matt
