[yocto] Regarding Licensing of "mbsalign.c" available in util-linux-2.21.2 version (Yocto-1.3-Danny)

[Gaurang Shastri]

Hi All,

I have some concerns regarding util-linux-2.21.2 version . As per Yocto-1.3
(danny) recipe,
{{{

LICENSE_${PN}-lscpu = "GPLv3+"  <-- util-linux_2.21.2.bb

LICENSE = "GPLv2+ & LGPLv2.1+ & BSD"   <-- util-linux.inc

}}}

So as per the above description, only lscpu is GPLv3.

But while looking into the source of util-linux-2.21.2, I found out that
"util-linux-2.21.2/lib/mbsalign.c" is GPLv3 and it is used by following
binaries while building:
{{{
  -  fdisk
  -  partx
}}}

So does it mean that the above binaries should also be GPLv3 and need to
take care in util-linux.{bb,inc} ???

Regards,
Gaurang Shastri
