Thanks for the pointers. I took a look at the link you provided, while it
specifies some code could be in LGPL, few modules I found in gettext-runtime
(e.g. closeout, fwriteerror, progname, propername, trim, xreadlink and
xstriconv) have GPL license explicitly stated in the gnulib module description.
Am I missing something?
Also, the link specifies to use some gnulib modules under LGPL, we could
compile gnulib-tool with --lgpl to replace GPL header, but seems like that's
not being done in gettext-runtime. Is that safe to use gettime-runtime as LGPL?
Thanks,
