thanks for testing the Debian package!
Good catch there about ftdipp. I've added a simple, compile-tested-only wrapper
for ftdi_set_module_detach_mode() in ftdipp. That should fix it.
Also good point about the GPG signature, we'll probably create a new GPG key
for the final release and store it on a hardware token (with backup and stuff).
Might take a few days since I need to coordinate this.
I just added a missing entry to the changelog:
*******************************
* License clarifications:
* Fix wrong LGPL version in the "LICENSE" readme:
* Clarify main libftdi library is LGPL v2.1 only
* Clarify ftdi_eeprom is GPL v2 only
* SPDX license tags added in 2019 were already correct
* Update COPYING.LIB to LGPL v2.1 after clarifications
*******************************
See here for the main change:

commit 4ec5bc584c27c333f74eca524de5a0839c983935
Author: Thomas Jarosch <thomas.jarosch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sat Jan 3 01:18:28 2026 +0100
LICENSE: Clarify the main ftdi lib is LGPL v2.1 only
A friendly lawyer contacted me in 2020 and pointed out that the license
information
in the readme files of libftdi didn't match the source code.
The main library source code had been LGPL v2.1 since the initial commit,
so adjust the LICENSE file accordingly.
No idea how this went by undetected for so long.
The SPDX license tags added in 2019 are correct already.
*******************************
Cheers,
Thomas
