Hello, while scanning the licenses used in our repositories we stumbled on `ntfsprogs/boot.c` which in its header says that it is released under the terms of the GPL-3.
As far as I can tell, it is only used by `mkntfs`. It means that the whole program ends up being effectively GPL-3. Is that on purpose? Should it be documented more explicitly? The code says it is based on the vfat bootsector from which I assume derived the GPL-3 licensing. However, the vfat bootsector was later clarified to fall under public domain, see https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/commit/3ce32fa90d1d97aa7070da Should the licensing of the derived code be reconsidered as well? Thank you! -- Emanuele Aina www.collabora.com _______________________________________________ ntfs-3g-devel mailing list ntfs-3g-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ntfs-3g-devel
