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 bug-gnulib@gnu.org and copy the following people:

- Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lur...@redhat.com>
