The code to implement license verification has been checked into GnuLib:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/7833/focus=7839
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/7833/focus=7839
To test a single module:
$ ./gnulib-tool --dir test --create-testdir <name of the module>
To test all the module:
$ ./gnulib-tool --dir test --create-testdir
You'll now get a warning for each invalid LGPL -> GPL module
dependencies.
