If you are releasing your program under the LGPL, you should also include the text version of the LGPL, usually in a file called COPYING.LESSER. Please note that, since the LGPL is a set of additional permissions on top of the GPL, it's important to include both licenses so users have all the materials they need to understand their rights.
* configure.ac (COPYING): No more games with non-git file. * COPYING: New file, copied from gnulib. * COPYING.LIB: Rename... * COPYING.LESSER: ...to this. * .gitignore: Track licenses in git. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_copyright_address): Tweak rule. * libvirt.spec.in (daemon, client, python): Reflect rename.

Pushed, and apologies to anyone trying to toggle branches between before-and-after on this (you'll have to manually nuke the old COPYING when moving to newer commits, to keep git happy). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
