Because GPL violations are quite serious, I want to be totally clear: ***your statement is totally incorrect***. libltdl distributed in hwloc is not LGPL. I cite the comments in src/libltdl/ltdl.h: ----- As a special exception to the GNU Lesser General Public License, if you distribute this file as part of a program or library that is built using GNU Libtool, you may include this file under the same distribution terms that you use for the rest of that program. ----- This special exception is included in every single file under src/libltdl except README and COPYING.LIB. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
