gnulib/poll.c license

Dear folks,

I am on a mission to port Pulseaudio (PA) to Windows. PA relies heavily
on poll() and this is not properly implemented for Windows. I found your
poll() implementation and it works well (with some changes, which I
will happily share with you). However there is a license issue. PA is
licensed under LGPL (2.1) which is incompatible with GPL (2 or later).

Thus, I would like to as you kindly if you could grant us a copy of
poll.c under a compatible license. This would help us immensely. Would
you please consider this?

As you can see in the quoted mail below I already contacted the original author, Paolo Bonzini, who is fine with that for the Pulseaudio project.

Best regards.

I cannot do this alone, but I agree with the licensing change so you can
send email to address@hidden and copy the following people:

- Yoann Vandoorselaere <address@hidden>
- Marc-André Lureau <address@hidden>
- Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
- Erik Faye-Lund <address@hidden>
- Daniel P. Berrange <address@hidden>
- Bruno Haible <address@hidden>
