And you have already explained that libvirt needs to stay LGPLv2+, in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-07/msg00199.html> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-08/msg00112.html> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-09/msg00435.html> Since the posix_spawn sources in gnulib come actually from glibc, there's no problem with going back to LGPLv2+.

I don't wish to start a political battle. I only asked the question whether you have considered LGPLv3+. You say "yes, but we choose LGPLv2+".
