Hi, It has been decided that libunistring is going to be relicensed under "dual LGPLv3+ or GPLv2" license. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libunistring/2016-11/msg00003.html
To this effect, the libunistring modules in gnulib that are currently under
LGPLv3+ need to be relicensed to 'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2'. Those modules that
are under LGPLv2+ stay under LGPLv2+.
1)
This proposed patch does this. It also extends gnulib-tool so that
* the option --lgpl accepts the form --lgpl=3orGPLv2
* the compatibility checks consider this 'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2' license
(namely, the allowed relicensings are:
LGPLv2+ --> 'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2'
'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2' --> LGPLv3+ = LGPL
'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2' --> GPLv2+
'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2' --> GPLv3+ = GPL
2)
Some libunistring modules depend on gnulib modules with an LGPL license:
unicase needs:
Module Authors of the lib/* files (modulo trivial changes)
memcmp2 Bruno
amemxfrm Bruno
unistdio needs:
Module Authors of the lib/* files (modulo trivial changes)

I am willing to relicense these modules to 'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2' or to the even
weaker license LGPLv2+.
lib/float+.h is already under LGPLv2+, per the modules 'integer_length' and
'vasnprintf'.
=== Paul, Eric, Ludovic, ===
Would you agree to relicense your changes to lib/isnan.c
under 'LGPLv3+ or GPLv2'?
Or possibly even under LGPLv2+?
