Oops, I should have scrolled down farther. Looks like winpriv.c was further modified by Jari Aalto, and actually sports a GPLv2+ license (and re-reading the license of the code Jari(?) adopted from Chris, it seems like a combo of BSD with the MIT/X disclaimer tacked on). Either way, it should be compatible with the needs of gnulib. I, and I hope all those associated with the code, would be willing to release it to gnulib under a plain old LGPLv3+ license -- or even a more permissive one. (dunno if Chris Rodgers is still contactable, tho). But before we try contacting everybody for a license change, take a look and see if it even contains the stuff you want/need. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
