The libraries and backends are dual GPLv2+/LGPLv3+. The utilities are GPLv3+. which i believe can be interpreted as giving the user a choice of license, and the source code (e.g. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=blob;f=libelf/common.h;h=9b2a856d118a55c0977bbc8d9978d8f6b42f18b3;hb=HEAD#l6) says the same. gentoo also agrees with me, and their ebuild uses `||` which implies user choice of license: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-libs/elfutils/elfutils-0.189-r3.ebuild?id=0c64ab06a4ba2c73f3840be7aa49e34f42c13696#n14 LICENSE="|| ( GPL-2+ LGPL-3+ ) utils? ( GPL-3+ )" i would like to see the yocto metadata updated to match the upstream license. 96124 1 randy.macleod 2023-07-27 14:39:39 +0000 Thanks Nick, Are you about to send a patch to the list?
