Re: mailutils, and the licencing web

[Sam Roberts]

Hi,

some questions about the CMU licence, wrt to incorporation of
CMU code into free software:

a) Can library code under this licence be incorporated into
a LGPLed library, and thence into a GPL application?

b) Can library code under this licence call support functions,
distributed with it, that are licenced under the GPL?

Thanks,
Sam
