If the memory allocation fails, let group_member() return -1 with errno = ENOMEM. Jim, would you accept patches to that effect? - fts-lgpl & openat: no opinion. Jim, Paul? - getaddrinfo, inttostr: Paul, can you agree to put intprops under LGPL? - glob: d-type has no source code in lib/, therefore whether it has a GPL or LGPL license statement does not matter. Jim? - inline: Likewise, should be changed to LGPL. - obstack: If someone was to use/assign the obstack_exit_failure variable declared in obstack.h, he will get a link error. So I propose to move the "#define obstack_exit_failure exit_failure" from obstack.c to obstack.h. Then we can remove the dependency to exitfail.

Everything that calls xmalloc will stay GPL. The only changes of lib/ code to LGPL that are being requested are for group-member, intprops and possibly openat. The rest are mistakes that crept in during the last few months. Bruno
