Correct. These modules are under GPL license and are NOT used in gettext-runtime/libintl/. > Also, the link specifies to use some gnulib modules under LGPL, we could > compile gnulib-tool with --lgpl to replace GPL header, but seems like that's > not being done in gettext-runtime. Good point. Yes, the gettext-runtime/libintl/ could be constructed from gnulib by use of "gnulib-tool --lgpl", but this is not being done, for historical reasons. Instead, the source code files of gettext-runtime/libintl/ are being synced with gnulib manually. > Is that safe to use gettime-runtime as LGPL? Yes. The file gettext-runtime/intl/COPYING.LIB should make the intent clear. Bruno
