My understanding is:
mailutils/COPYING is the LGPL
mailutils/mailbox is LGPL
The distributed utilities are GPLed.
lib/*.c EXCEPT mu_argp.c is LGPL, sorry, I assumed all of lib/* was
under the same licence.
So it looks like it isn't possible to use mu_argp_parse under LGPL.
sieve, btw, is based on a CMU library, which is a BSD-style licence.
So, I don't think I can use it in a non-GPL application (sieve/sieve.c
is LGPLed). Am I correct?
Correct?

Ok, I added the .mu. back in.
No objections to the ~/.mailutils as a directory, then?
