I have created a project "Lesser GNULib" that will hold LGPL
rewrites
Something seems fundamentally wrong here. A primary purpose of GNU in
general, not to mention Gnulib in particular, is to avoid having to
rewrite code. Yet here you are, being forced to do exactly that --
rewrite code that is already freely available, in order to use it in a
GNU project. What a shame.
There must be a better solution.
Ok, so if rms doesn't want to just blanket say that everything in gnulib
is available under lgpl, how about asking him about lgpl-ing the
specific files that you need, pointing out that otherwise you need to
rewrite them for your LGPL project, and isn't this rather a waste of
always-scarce development time?
Although it does nothing about the underlying problem, administratively
we could at least have the lgpl'd files in gnulib, if you like. Some
variation of srclist-update could keep the lgpl and gpl copies in sync.
Sigh.
