There is also this warning: gnulib-tool: warning: module obstack depends on a module with an incompatible license: exitfail
The exitfail.h is: extern int volatile exit_failure; and exitfail.c is: #include <config.h> #include "exitfail.h" #include <stdlib.h> int volatile exit_failure = EXIT_FAILURE; Is this worth having the GPL on? Assuming it is even copyrightable, it seems rather trivial to me. Any objections to relaxing the license to at least LGPLv2.1+? Further, exitfail.m4 is: AC_DEFUN([gl_EXITFAIL], [ AC_LIBOBJ([exitfail]) dnl No prerequisites of lib/exitfail.c. : ]) It seems this file could be dropped, and the AC_LIBOBJ moved to modules/exitfail. See patch below. /Simon >From 63d31953c3f950bfac3b51ac1cd63928969a7204 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 14:42:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] exitfail: Relax license to LGPLv2.1+.
