FW: GLIB-C - GPL license clarification

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2616 bytes --]

Hello Team,

I am Benilda, working as a Associate Project Manager in Robert Bosch for the OSS compliance team.

I have a query regarding Glibc- version 2.28. As far I know “glibc, is licensed under the Lesser General Public License, LGPL. In the above mentioned Glibc version – could see some GPL2.0 or later and GPL3.0 or later licenses.

Could you please guide us ,even though the main license LGPL, should we satisfy the requirements of GPL licenses. Because could see the licenses, in the source file. Or could you please guide us how to handle these licenses in glibc.

File Path below for reference:

- files starting with tst are tests, they do not end in any final
distributable binary
 - pt-kill is for the gnu hurd.. I am not aware of any commercial
product using it..
-  iconv-charmap is used in the command line tools.

You need a license lawyer to answer what this means for you.

Hi @Cristian Rodríguez<mailto:crrodriguez@opensuse.org>,



Thank you so much for the rapid response. This will be very helpful. Sure I will check with our legal expert team regarding this.



Just curious to know about the below questions from you. If you can provide me the explanation , I will be thankful.



As I know , Glibc - libraries are dynamically linked and LGPL as main license - So good to use.



we should check whether those GPL file used / linked directly in our project , if yes then we have to make everything under GPL as main license. Is my understanding correct?



Please correct me if I am wrong. I am new to Glibc ☺





Best regards,



Benilda A

I do not know how you intend to distribute your software.. but all
this appears to be covered in the FSF licensing FAQ though.
