Package: btrfs-progs
Version: 5.10.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I looked into the licenses of the btrfs-progs project and found that the
libbtrfsutils library is licensed under LGPL-3.0-or-later [1]
The `copyright` file does not show this this.
IANAL, but I think since `btrfs` (under GPL-2.0-only [2]) links to
`libbtrfsutil`
statically this might cause a license conflict. See [3]. This would be the part
that might require upstream fixing.
regards,
Claudius
