----- Forwarded message from Claudius Heine <c...@denx.de> -----

Dear Maintainer,

I looked into the licenses of the btrfs-progs project and found that the
libbtrfsutils library is licensed under LGPL-3.0-or-later [1]

The `copyright` file does not show this this.

IANAL, but I think since `btrfs` (under GPL-2.0-only [2]) links to 
`libbtrfsutil`
statically this might cause a license conflict. See [3]. This would be the part
that might require upstream fixing.

regards,
Claudius
