Hi. I recall that the getline license was discussed before, but I
don't know if there ever was a conclusion. So here goes. I want to
use getline in GNU SASL, which is LGPL, but the implementation in
gnulib uses getndelim2, which is GPL. There is a LGPL implementation
of getline/getdelim in glibc though. Two ideas:
1) Don't call getndelim2 in getline/getdelim. In other words, use the
glibc implementation for getline/getdelim, and leave the getndelim2
module as is in gnulib.
2) Relicense getndelim2. Do we know who all authors are? This would
presumably be a first toward getting getndelim2 included in glibc.
#1 would lead to some code duplication, which is bad, but would also
mean we'd use the glibc code, which presumably is good. #2 might be
difficult.
Thoughts?
