It appears that it is not permitted to put GPL-2.0-only code into LGPL-3.0-or-later code. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#AllCompatibility Unfortunately, one of UAPI headers of Linux kernel (include/sound/firewire.h) is included in libhitaki for backporting, and it is licensed under GPL-2.0-only. The last change of the header is for v6.3 kernel, therefore it seems to be preferable to keep it for a while. It is granted to put GPL-2.0-only code into LGPL-2.1-or-later code. This commit relicenses libhitaki itself under LGPL-2.1-or-later. Signed-off-by: Takashi Sakamoto <[email protected]>
