LICENSE="GPL-3 LGPL-3+ LGPL-2 BSD" It's a lot worse ;) Some parts are gpl-3, some lgpl-3+, some are as-is, BSD, custom license ... @license team: Could you please review the random mishmash in talloc source code and check if there's anything wrong/missing with the current LICENSE string? The bulk of the package is licensed under GPL-3+ and LGPL-3+.
Then there are in addition:
LGPL-2.1+: buildtools/wafsamba/tests/*
BSD: buildtools/bin/waf lib/replace/timegm.c
ISC: lib/replace/inet_{ntop,pton}.c
POSTGRESQL: lib/replace/getaddrinfo.{c,h}
I haven't checked which of these are being installed, though.
i've dropped the BSD part. timegm isn't used with any of our systems because the C library provides it (e.g. glibc). waf tools don't matter as those are only used to build code -- they aren't part of the installed image. |
Please look at the provided url or at the top of talloc.{h, c} to see the actually used license Reproducible: Always
