time_r is a bit of an issue, as it contains GPL'ed code that isn't 100% trivial. On the other hand, it's meant as a replacement for glibc code that is LGPLed. Fellow gnulibers, do we have a general policy for this sort of thing? If not, I'm inclined to LGPL it. extensions is not a problem for you, but it does suggest a problem in gnulib-tool. All its code is actually under a license that is even more generous than the LGPL: # Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation # gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, # with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved. I don't know of a name for this license; perhaps we could call it "preserve-notice"? At any rate, gnulib-tool doesn't know about "preserve-notice", so for now I've changed the license of the extensions module to "LGPL", which is at least an improvement. > Ps: the GnuLib mailing list seem to be down.
