Hi,
Although we haven't had an answer on Andrew Samoilov's request to
Jindrich Novy from Red Hat for legal advise on whether LGPL code can use
GPL functions legally I think Roland is correct in assuming this is not
the case. Compare
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL .
We might want to decide to change all the relevant code in vfs to GPL.
Probably a good idea to release a tarball before the change, so people
can easily find the last LGPL version if they want to work from that.
This is mainly a formality.
Any thoughts on when such a transition should take place?
Leonard.
