Description steffen_brauer 2023-08-17 13:14:20 UTC
https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl/blob/master/src/yp_xdr.c is BSD

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2023-08-20 20:21:44 UTC
To my best knowledge the aggregate of a LGPL-2.1+ and a BSD work falls under LGPL-2.1+ (the less permissive license).
