Looks like a complete implementation, all GPL. cpio borrows argp from gnulib, and in gnulib, argp is GPL (because it has some improvements over glibc) but maintains sync with glibc fixes. If you're going to pull it from anywhere, I suggest either glibc (LGPL) or gnulib (GPL, and what is used by cpio and tar, at least). Either way, I agree that we're stuck with a separate libargp, because I don't know of any non-[L]GPL argp implementation. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
