Hello Bastian, I sent a patch for the libmodbus3 license issue last year, Message-Id was <[email protected]> and Michael gave some feedback, see:

My initial analysis was this, copied from my old patch: When introduced to ptxdist back in 2011 with version 3.0.1 libmodbus was already licensed LGPL-2.1-or-later for the library part and GPL-3.0-or-later for the tests. This did not change upstream since then. Fixes: a8f85be09c663bfad8a34a162b1a63fb3d499985 This is of course better: Fixes: a8f85be09c66 ("libmodbus3: add new package") > > Signed-off-by: Bastian Krause <[email protected]> > --- > rules/libmodbus3.make | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/rules/libmodbus3.make b/rules/libmodbus3.make > index f206ec4aa..412401cbe 100644 > --- a/rules/libmodbus3.make > +++ b/rules/libmodbus3.make > @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ LIBMODBUS3_SUFFIX := tar.gz > LIBMODBUS3_URL := > http://libmodbus.org/site_media/build/$(LIBMODBUS3).$(LIBMODBUS3_SUFFIX) > LIBMODBUS3_SOURCE := $(SRCDIR)/$(LIBMODBUS3).$(LIBMODBUS3_SUFFIX) > LIBMODBUS3_DIR := $(BUILDDIR)/$(LIBMODBUS3) > -LIBMODBUS3_LICENSE := LGPL-3.0-only > +LIBMODBUS3_LICENSE := LGPL-2.1-or-later This is probably not sufficient, see my original patch, and feedback by Michael on that and by Roland in the other mail.
