Short: glibc is actually compatible as a dependency, as we would
consider it a "System Requirement" of TS, if you are running it on

Solaris). In Addition, with how glibc itself is licensed, it doesn't
'infect' code just running on top of it -- so it seems moot to me.
But that is not generally true for other "gnu" libraries under the
LGPL I assume?
See <http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html> for all terrible
details.
If we used libev directly, I would generally consider that a direct
dependency, and so it would need to be under a compatible license.
Interesting. We have dependencies on various libraries, like TCL,
Expat and Berkeley DB. Andrew (since you are on top of this): Did you
already go through all such link/run time dependencies, and make sure
the licenses are compatible?
