I noticed the following situation: lib/* is released under the LGPL, but some of its files include, via "ioctl.h", "master/ioctl.h" and in turn "master/globals.h" and "globals.h", which are released under the GPL.
I'm not a lawyer, but in my understanding that would place the whole library under the stricter GPL. Is this intentional? If not, you might want to change the licence of the above-mentioned files to the LGPL. If you decide to do this, could you please also do this for the 1.5.0 version of those files? As you might know, my userspace port is based on this version, and that's unlikely to change, so otherwise my port would fall under the GPL completely. It is not an issue for me personally, since I use the GPL for my application (and don't use lib anyway), but I try to keep the port as close as possible to the original, including the licensing which was apparently intended to be LGPL for lib.
