implementation of a standard library function, so the LGPL seems
appropriate.

Thanks for the followup. I installed this:
2005-09-27 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* modules/gethostname (Licence): Change from GPL to LGPL, since
gethostname.c is a trivial implementation of a standard library
function.
* modules/poll (License): Change from GPL to LGPL, since it's
derived from LGPL code.
