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.

Hi Nils,
I see.
And could you also please answer the COPYING question -- "the COPYING only mentions
"GPLv2 or any later version", but doesn't mention LGPL at all"?
Should we also fix the COPYING? I think it should only mention LGPL rather than
GPL. Am I correct?
The COPYING file should be fixed. It's indeed confusing.
We already have a lgpl-2.1.txt file. We could add a gpl-2.txt file.
After that, COPYING could contain information about the license of each
module, and refer to the specific *.txt files for the license text. If
would likely become the official source from which the corresponding
section of the manual would be updated.
