This seems a better description.

I think you should ask the maintainers, or query on any public forums
associated with this project.  Would be good to encourage them to
improve their documentation if it doesn't detail this information.
Perhaps you could suggest adding such information to the README
or something.

I'd raise this issue with the maintainers or on any public forum
associated with the project.  If the code is a mix of GPL and LGPL,
then the effective license is GPL.  However, it would be good to
find out if the maintainers have any plans to switch to LGPL.

If this is a GPL library, then we need to be careful and verify that we
don't link it into any non-GPL programs.  Do you have a complete list
of all programs that are in Solaris that would use this library?  What
are their licenses?
