dependencies with incompatible licenses: glob


From: Bruno Haible
Subject: dependencies with incompatible licenses: glob

User-agent: KMail/4.8.5 (Linux/3.8.0-44-generic; KDE/4.8.5; x86_64; ; )

When I run

$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --with-tests --dir=/tmp/testdir1

I get these warnings, among others:

gnulib-tool: warning: module glob depends on a module with an incompatible 
license: closedir
gnulib-tool: warning: module glob depends on a module with an incompatible 
license: opendir
gnulib-tool: warning: module glob depends on a module with an incompatible 
license: readdir

These were introduced through new dependencies on 2011-09-17
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-09/msg00231.html

Can we change the license of the modules 'closedir', 'opendir', 'readdir'
to 'LGPLv2+'?

Agreements are needed:
  - For closedir from Bruno, KO Myung-Hun.
  - For opendir from Bruno, Eric, KO Myung-Hun.
  - For readdir from Bruno.

You hereby have my agreement (since all these modules are suitable for use
in libraries).

Eric, KO Myung-Hun, can we have yours?
