Hello! Thankfully, Carl and Larry relicense lib_timing.c as GPL2+ without restrictions.
I will put this information into debian/copyright as well and possibly create a patch to change the licensing note in the source file that I send back upstream to Ric Wheeler for inclusion in any possible future version of fs_mark. After a clarification requested by me: ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Betreff: Re: Fwd: Re: ITP fsmark - bug 655224: License restriction for lib_timing.c DFSG compliant?

For the bits of lmbench that were used by fsmark, we are happy to give it a GPL 2 (or later) license. In particular, it appears that this would be the file lib_timing.c from fsmark. Please forward our release to the appropriate place with our email addresses anonymized/sanitized.
