I'd like to use the gethostname module in libvirt (LGPLv2+),
for use when building for mingw.
Considering the size of the module (trivial, 10-line gethostname function
and minimal gethostname.m4), would anyone object to relaxing its license
from LGPL to LGPLv2+?
This is mainly to avoid gnulib's link-time warning:
...: undefined reference to address@hidden'
In this particular case, gethostname is essentially a no-op,
and always returns the empty string, since mingw
has no uname function, and in that case, gethostname's
body reverts to this:
strcpy (name, ""); /* Hardcode your system name if you want. */
- gethostname: LGPL -> LGPLv2+,
