[Bug-gnulib] Dummy module under LGPL?


From: Simon Josefsson
Subject: [Bug-gnulib] Dummy module under LGPL?
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 00:40:10 +0200
User-agent: Gnus/5.110003 (No Gnus v0.3) Emacs/21.3.50 (gnu/linux)

The gnulib-tool support for --lgpl is finished.  While testing it, I
noticed that dummy.c used LGPL version 2.  This patch upgrade it to
LGPL 2.1.  At least progreloc.c has the same problem.  Using GPL would
be fine as well.  As long as the modules/dummy "License" term could be
changed into LGPL.  I think Bruno actually hold the copyright on the
one line of real code in dummy.c, so he'll have to OK the license
change.

Thanks.
