NOTE
however, in src there is e.g. nfsmount.c which is

NOTE
So as nfsmount.c is always compiled into watchdog, the whole work have
to be under GPLv2 or later and GPLv1 is not possible option.
Other sources are probably from GPLv2 archives too, e.g. src/mount.c
(from util-linux) but I'm not sure because while util-linux was under
GPLv2+ at that time, that mount.c lacks copyright/license statement in
it.
Anyway, src/nfsmount.c says its GPLv2+, so the whole program can't be
GPLv1+.
Thanks,
