Hi, in the latest release 0.5 of lttng-ust
(http://lttng.org/files/ust/releases/ust-0.5.tar.gz), I found in the
source directory, doc/manual/ust.html says ustctl/libustcmd/ustd are
licensed as GPL v2, but the source codes of ustctl/libustcmd/ustd
have a LGPLv2.1+ header.  I checked
git://git.dorsal.polymtl.ca/git/ust.git and it has the same issue.

Could somebody please clarify the inconsistency? Thanks!

The licenses in the file have priority. The manual needs to be
updated.

Thanks a lot for the quick clarification! :-)

Hi, today I checked the release of 0.7 and the latest's ust.git. Looks this 
inconsistency in manual and source cde is still there?
Do we have a plan to fix it?

And, the COPYING only mentions "GPLv2 or any later version", but doesn't 
mention LGPL at all.
And, the files in ust.git/snprintf/ has a BSD license header.
So, what's the "overall" license of lttng-ust -- "LGPL2.1+ & BSD"?


LPGPL2.1 for the library parts.

LGPL is more restrictive than BSD so only the specifically BSD licensed parts may be used under a BSD license.

I can try to fix the license text in the coming release.

Could you please clarify my questions? Thanks very much!
