[HEADS UP] GPLv2 vs. GPLv3 conflict in tools&lib

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi all,

unfortunately, we missed a license incompatibility between
tools/bg_setenv and swupdate-adapter/libebgenv.a on the one side (both
GPLv2-only, like whole efibootguard) and libparted (GPLv3 or later) on
the other side. We don't want to relicense those components v2+ nor does
swupdate want to import an effective GPLv3 lib, so we are looking into
removing the libparted dependency.

Please do not yet distribute a compiled version but stay tuned, there
will be a solution soon.

Jan
