Thanks for replying on this.

FYI, I have already open a bug for this:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4014


Thanks,

I have a patch from the upstream author of the code changing the license from GPLv3 to LGPLv2.1 so this will be resolved shortly.

We can also take this patch into the Danny release to clarify it.

Sau!

            Hi All,

            Any shades of light for below query ???


        I would suggest to open a bug for it.

    Timing is on this one!

    I noticed this recently independent of this email!

    I have contacted the maintainer of util-linux to clarify the license
    of mbsalign.c as it's used directly by cal and lslocks and included
    in the common library.

    As it also turns out the original reason that util-linux was marked
    as GPLv3 because of lscpu, which is now be changed back to GPLv2.

    I will keep people posted on this one.

    We try to do our best to keep the license information up to date and
    sometimes files under core licenses slip by. As upstreams projects
    start to use SPDX this kind of problem can be avoided.

    Thanks for pointing it out.

    Sau!

                 Hi All,

                 I have some concerns regarding util-linux-2.21.2
            version . As per
                 Yocto-1.3 (danny) recipe,
                 {{{

                 LICENSE_${PN}-lscpu = "GPLv3+"  <--
            util-linux_2.21.2.bb <http://util-linux_2.21.2.bb>
                 <http://util-linux_2.21.2.bb/>


                 LICENSE = "GPLv2+ & LGPLv2.1+ & BSD"   <-- util-linux.inc

                 }}}

                 So as per the above description, only lscpu is GPLv3.

                 But while looking into the source of util-linux-2.21.2,
            I found
                 out that "util-linux-2.21.2/lib/__mbsalign.c" is GPLv3
            and it is
                 used by following binaries while building:
                 {{{
                   -  fdisk
                   -  partx
                 }}}

                 So does it mean that the above binaries should also be
            GPLv3 and
                 need to take care in util-linux.{bb,inc} ???

                 Regards,
                 Gaurang Shastri
