Re: [pdf-devel] New developer and UUID module request

[Renaud AUBIN]

Hi there,

I'm just looking at the flyspray website and FYI there is a libuuid
(I've already used it) on my debian box. Here is the copyright provided
by the libuuid-dev debian package

This is libuuid, previously part of e2fsprogs this is now part of
util-linux-ng and has thus moved to the util-linux Debian source
package.

That's definitelly not GPL V3 but maybe that should be a good and
acceptable starting point to implement the uuid module?
