The iputils source tarball includes duplicated headers from glibc, such as socketbits.h, under the include-glibc directory. Please make the LICENSE variable reflect this.
To add to the mix: It also includes GPL-2 code (iputils/Modules/pg3.c), and a Sun license similar to as-is (rdisc.c).
looks like you're looking at an older version ... plus, i'm not really sure about that ... header usage does not mean your source is under the LGPL-2 pg3.c is a linux kernel module which isnt built/installed as part of the ebuild, so GPL-2 isnt appropriate either
I agree, the LGPL explicitly states that header usage doesn't bind your program to the LGPL. However, I thought the ebuild LICENSE field was supposed to indicate the license acceptance required for source redistribution. Am I wrong?
i dont believe so ... i think the interpretation is more what you'll actually be utilizing once the package has been merged ... otherwise, it'd be impossible to emerge a package that has optional proprietary components based on USE flags ... i believe Debian also takes this view point (license reflects installed state)
