Right. I hereby permit, insofar as I am able, the relicensing of
dpkg's lib/vercmp.c, as LGPLv2+.
The copy of the verrevcmp function (which is the one I think you
probably want as you probably don't want the epoch and revision stuff
which is rather Debian-package-specific) in dpkg 1.13.25 appears to
have been rewritten. I don't remember rewriting it so I presume that
the new implementation (the one currently in use) was written by
someone else.
Probably it was written by whoever did the `~' support. dpkg's git
history should say.
Ian.
