Re: relax license of cloexec, fcntl

 Jim, Bruno, and Paolo,

 I want to eventually get to the point where open(O_CLOEXEC) can be
 supported in gnulib for use in libraries like LGPLv2+ libvirt.  Along
 the way, I will want to make open (LGPLv2+) depend on cloexec (currently
 LGPLv3+), which in turn is a thin wrapper around fcntl (currently
 LGPLv3+).  Meanwhile, I can immediately start using cloexec within
 libvirt before O_CLOEXEC support is complete in gnulib.

 Are there any objections to relaxing the license?

Not from me.  Go ahead.

A new update, with data from Solaris 11 2010-11 is at the same location now.

 This problem was also discussed in 2006 -

 I had thought it was solved then :/

hpux code works for me once I change the typo'ed getppid to getpid.

I can't find the AIX code you mention.
